Architecture is a challenging and demanding subjects that requires determination, dedication, and a passion for design and the built environment, as the syllabus is vast and complex. You also need to be ready for making some challenging and complex drawing as there is special requirement for that. However, not everyone is suited to pursue a career in architecture, and it is essential to ask yourself several questions to determine if this field is the right choice for you.
