What you need to be good arquitect



To my mind, to be a good arquitect you must be passionate about arquitecture , its history and it evolution. You must know arquitecture before practicing it. Therefore, a good arquitect must be curious about the world and the cultures that surrounds him. To be able to create a building, a house, a public space, you must know the people that use or will use that place. For that reason, the arquitect must be a good listener and must understand the needs and the culture of its clients or the people that will live in his creation.
Furthermore, a good arquitect must be a person who can draw, represent his mind on a sketch or a drawing. In my opinion, an arquitect who can't draw by hand but only on a computer is not a good arquitect because the computer can't be as expressive as the hand, the computer fixes thing that aren't yet to be fixed.  
Moreover, a good arquitect must be hard working, perseverant and patient because you have to be able to take time to redo again and again a drawing, a plan, a seccion, in order for it to be perfect so that, if the project is constructed, it would be safe and well designed. 
Last but not least, to me, an arquitect must have humility, in order to design something for someone and not design something for him and for its own ego, and this is, to my mind, the problem with the "stars arquitects".
