How do you become an architect that build buildings
I wish it was as simple as going to school & taking a course. Architectural school teach design fundamentals & barely skim over actual architectural practice. You really start learning the profession of architecture when u start working. The SOM apprenticeship will put u in position to work on building models for presentations. You wo not get anywhere close to doing any design work. Due to the size & complexity of large commercial projects, architectural firms need the manpower to do such projects. So these projects tend to go to larger firms. Regarding the answer from Carly, the law requires any person calling themselves an architect to be registered. Any commercial building requires a stamp from an architect. The allowance for designers to undertake four residential units on a legal lot only pertains to wood structure construction of no more than two storys & a basement.

No special courses--in school, u learn to do everything. More architects end up doing homes because A) there r more of them that need to be built than skyscrapers, B) the code, site, monetary, & program requirements r a lot less complicated in homes than skyscrapers, so C) fewer people need to get into the project, & an architect has more control over what gets built.
By the way, u _can_ work on skyscrapers straight out of school--check out the coveted SOM internships. However, law requires that u be a licensed architect if u want to (principally) design more than four residential units on a single lot. Therefore, u could design a home straight out of school--but not a skyscraper.
