Architects are licensed professionals who plan and design the construction of buildings and organise spaces. Many people still think that Architects get paid for drawing but this is just 10 percent of what they actually do. Architects present and market designs to clients, develop the drawings for submission to local authorities and ensure they meet the requirements for approval. They then coordinate with engineers and consultants to prepare drawings for the construction, chairs and record client-consultant meetings and meet with the contractor to ensure all work meets the client’s specifications, requirements and budget. Malaysia has about 2,000 registered Architects and market demand for Architecture graduates is high. Many students may target a higher qualification in Architecture but there are many different opportunities laid out in the future of Architecture students and not just what they have mainly studied. This includes positions in publishing, tourism, materials supply and education, among others. Some Architecture graduates have gone on to become museum curators, graphic designers and event organisers.

Good imagination and designing skills
Before you illustrate the plan, you will need to be able to visualise and imagine it in your head. Not only that, you will need to visualise it in 3D form so that all the things can be taken into consideration before you fully put your idea on the paper. Depending on the demand and request of the clients, you must be able to tweak your designs and ideas to suit their taste while ensuring that it is still as functional.
Strong attention to detail
What material will make it more durable at the same time keeping its aesthetic values? Will such design make the area better or worse? If you have the eye for little to big details, then this career is for you! You will need to be as sharp as a hawk and scrutinise every corners and gaps to construct or design the best building or space.
Good communication skills
In this career, you will need to talk to your clients, suppliers, teammates, project manager and the list goes on. How important is it you ask? One slight mistake or misunderstanding in the communication will lead to an atrocious outcome. Can you imagine your supplier misunderstood your material order and gave you something that will probably topple your building before the construction is even done? Sure, you may be able to make a new order, but do you have the time to wait for the new batch?
