Are you willing to work on projects that need your brain to swell up to the size of a football? There are so many such questions that line up in an order to validate if you can make a great architect. Of all these things, what makes you the best is YOU, the design you think and the blocks you build.

Other qualities that may fall in the list of the best Architect are as follows:

Passion: One who has a strong passion for things, does things more easily in the tough times than someone who has no passion for it. Being passionate about buildings and their designs can get you a long way, make you more productive and excel in the field itself.
