WHAT+DOES+IT+TAKE+TO+BE+AN+ARCHITECT?

==In my opinion a good architect should have imagination, creativity and talent. He must have knowlegde about the design and construction of buildings, even from the beginning of the architecture, passing by today’s most advanced techniques. He must handle knowlegdes and concepts of drawing, this is the architect’s most useful tool to design buildings. He must have social sensibility because he has to design in response to society’s needs.== ==I believe that a good architect should be able to understand himself and his environment; he`s a poet, a dreamer, a human being with a need of loving his work: a //planner// that has no fear or shame to express what is in himself.==

**a) After today's reading, how do you feel about your future profession?**
===I think that my choice was the best, because for me buildings have always meant something more than big towers inhabited by people. Architecture is the art lead by mathematics, physics, etc. Is sensitivity and awareness at the same time. This is what I enjoy the most.===

b) What is the role of architects / urban planners in today's world?
===The role of nowadays’ architect is the construction of buildings more integrated with nature, because there is a search for greater conservation and energy saving, taking in account ecology’s facts and including man in the process.===
