So i i'm very interested in architecture and it is possible, academically for me to be one at the moment. So i really want to know what its like, do you go through a phase where you hate all of your work or hit a wall. I'm very worried that ill hit a creative wall and loose my job/ client. I have designed a few buildings but in a popular game called Minecraft whenever i played it and sometimes i use it for purely architectual reasons because its very simple but limited. And from that experience i have learned that sometimes you create nice buildings, sometimes not, and somethimes you can't imagine a building. Any tips/ advice?
What is it like to be an architect?

If you really enjoy architecture you won't ever hit a wall where you hate your work. Minecraft is not an accurate representation of an architects work. Minecraft is more like Legos. Architects do so much more than designing a building. They have to lay out studs, windows, doors, electrical, HVAC, make things structurally sound, show what materials are being used where. All while working with a client to make sure it fits their needs and wants. It's so much more than a one sheet drawing of a building. Architects will make blueprints for a building that can be hundreds of pages long detailing everything in a building.
