An architect is a person trained in the planning, design and oversight of the construction of buildings, and is licensed to practice architecture. To practice architecture means to offer or render services in connection with the design and construction of a building, or group of buildings and the space within the site surrounding the buildings, that have as their principal purpose human occupancy or use. Etymologically, architect derives from the Latin architectus, itself derived from the Greek arkhitekton (arkhi-, chief + tekton, builder), i.e. chief builder.

The terms architect and architecture are also used in the disciplines of information technology (for example a software architect). In most of the world's jurisdictions, the professional and commercial uses of the term "architect", outside of the etymological variants noted, is legally protected. From Wikipedia under the

There are probably two important things to being successful as an architect: 1. Skill and dedication: These go hand in hand. Without the other, you won't be successful. You need both, and you need to be truthful to yourself. Get other people's opinions as well, those with knowledge in the area, but aren't in the same boat as you (meaning those that would be your competitors.) Getting advice from competitors/rivals can create problems. 2. Connections: To be successful, you need to know people who know people that can get you noticed and good-paying jobs. The school you go to may help/hinder with the above (depending on how famous the school is for their programs in architecture), but the majority of it is up to you.
