our discipline, but can never really escape the use of broad terms, coming from a fantastically broad education. It\u2019s unsurprising then, that the task of figuring out what kind of architect you want to be is a daunting one. Below is a list of 7 branches of architecture for you to consider:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong> Landscape Architect<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Designing outdoor landscapes, including\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/tag\/infrastructure\">infrastructure<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/tag\/public-space\">public areas<\/a>, agriculture, and forestry is vital for constructing the webs that bind our urban and rural spaces, but also, perhaps, more importantly, it\u2019s essential for responding to globalization and climate change. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/tag\/landscape-architecture\">Landscape architects<\/a> are involved in stormwater management, environmental restoration, and recreational areas among other things. If you enjoy working with and in the natural environment, this could be the path for you.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong> Urban Planner<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>As a result of a rapidly growing percentage of our population moving into urban areas, the conditions of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/tag\/urbanism\">urbanism<\/a> are constantly in a state of flux. The dynamic state of the urban environment makes it an exciting path to take as an architect, covering everything from economic and demographic changes to\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/tag\/sustainable\">sustainable development<\/a>. It\u2019s an essential responsibility within our profession, but a challenging one; it requires adaptability and problem solving on a large scale.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong> Restoration Architect<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Our societies\u2019 heritage and history as presented through architecture are not only beautiful glimpses into the past, but also crucial to understanding our culture as a discipline.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/tag\/conservation\/\">Conservation<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/tag\/restoration\">restoration<\/a>\u00a0of buildings is undeniably a challenge; it is never possible to please everyone. The media often targets the act of restoration as a &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/783861\/cadiz-castle-restoration-interesting-interpretation-or-harmful-to-heritage\">heritage massacre<\/a>,&#8221; despite the often very beautiful solutions.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong> Research Architect<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>With the current wave of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/tag\/digital-architecture\">digital design<\/a> and the constant advancement of digital tools, our methods of representation and expression are changing dramatically. Information technology has had a profound impact upon an architecture that is far from over. These constant improvements are in part made possible by the exciting research being done by architects, not necessarily consisting of designing buildings, but focusing more on how these new tools can enhance our work.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong> Lighting Architect<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Light has a profound impact on our mental and physical health, as anyone living at high latitudes can empathize with. Delving into the architecture of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/tag\/light-matters\">lighting<\/a> entails improving the quality of our experiences, our health and well-being, and the sustainability of not only the natural environment but also smaller spaces such as our\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/796231\/13-changes-to-your-work-space-that-could-improve-your-productivity-and-your-life\">work environments<\/a>.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li><strong> Political Architect<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Some argue that architecture is by nature political, however, being active in the political decision of a city or country is a different story. Architecture is more than just creating beautiful objects; the discipline has a value in organizing society. Architecture firm <a href=\"http:\/\/www.terroir.com.au\/page\/1?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=archdaily.com\">Terroir<\/a>, for example, has worked with the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/96121\/burnie-makers-workshop-terroir\">Burnie City Council<\/a>\u00a0as well as with the Parramatta City Council in Australia, to argue for a certain structure for the city, to predict what may happen, and to design a set of criteria for the evolution of the city. It is a case of architecture influencing politics, instead of the other way around.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li><strong> Extreme Architect<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>With the current development of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/tag\/climate-change\">climate change<\/a>, extreme weather conditions such as floods, heatwaves, and hurricanes are predicted to increase. Existing extreme environments, such as deserts, are likely to expand due to phenomena such as desertification. Being an architect who specializes in extreme weather conditions is therefore not only an incredibly fascinating way to tackle the subject, but also invaluable for us to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/773207\/extreme-heat-hot-cities-adapting-to-a-hotter-world\">adapt<\/a>\u00a0to the future of our planet.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Become_an_Architect\"><\/span>How to Become an Architect?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Due to the great scope of a career in architecture, it has now attained huge popularity as a field of study among students.

Opt for Science Stream after 10th<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you wish to pursue your career as an architect, you should begin by choosing the relevant subjects at the school level. You must go for the <a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/blog\/science-stream\/\">science stream<\/a> after your 10th board and make sure to choose mathematics as one of the major subjects since the understanding of many mathematical concepts is needed when planning the structure of a building. Also, architects need to have a good grasp of the basic concepts of physics that are involved in construction. Additionally, drawing skills also come in handy while creating designs of structures on paper.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Earn_a_Bachelors_Degree\"><\/span>2.\u00a0<strong>Earn a Bachelor\u2019s Degree<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>After completing your secondary education, you need to go for a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/blog\/bachelor-of-architecture\/\"><strong>Bachelor of Architecture<\/strong><\/a><strong>\u00a0(B.

In countries like the USA and Canada, there are regulated training programs for students of architecture who are preparing for their licensure exams. These programs are known as the Intern Development Program (IDP) in the USA and the Intern Architect Program (IAP) in Canada.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Get_RegisteredLicensed_as_an_Architect\"><\/span>5. Get Registered\/Licensed as an Architect<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The final and most important step is to get registered or obtain a license to work as a professional architect. Although in some countries you can work as an architect even without a license after completing a bachelor\u2019s degree in this field, it is good to get a license since it makes you eligible for more job opportunities on a global level. In India, an architect needs to register with The Council Of Architecture (COA) with all the required documents in addition to obtaining a certificate from a recognized university. All countries abroad have their departments for providing licenses to architects. For example, in the US, you have to pass the Architect Registration Examination (ARE) conducted by the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) to earn a professional license, while the Architects Registration Board (ARB) administers the license in the UK.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Earn_Professional_Certifications\"><\/span><strong>6.
