Creativity can be found in a Degree holder and in a Mason too, and I call the person an architect only if he has some creativity. A Mason may also be an architect if he has creativity. But now the situation is rediculous. Now the situation is if you are a degree holder you are a creative person and if you are not a degree holder you are not a creative person. If degree is there, good, that has given good knowledge on the subject. .
Creativity is the base.
Architecture is an art. It cannot be validated by degree or diploma. Other things like degree, knowledge are just secondary and silly.
