.What are your observations and experiences in this field

.Has architectural practice been a blessing or a misstep for you

. What is your advice to architects or those to be

. Is success usual for architects?

And generally, what are your thoughts on the life of an architect?

Well, I'm a student and I am made to believe that architecture is a field for the creative and the creative alone. Studying architecture nd being an architect I believe requires passion and perceverance, and absolutely not much of a field to relax.

I' ve heard and read a lot of opinions concerning this profession; some good and most - pretty discouraging. But passion is what impels me to become an architect myself (i really can't imagine myself being someone else though).

However, before I dash into architecture school I' ll love to hear every opinion given by the seasoned architects and those in related fields, not only for my benefit but also that of the public.

Thanks as I anticipate your comments .
