With software like Auto Cad and Archi Cad providing powerful templates for designing incredible buildings plans.

Does someone still need to be ab architect to practice and earn from the art of drawing plan?

I dont really know though but i believe if its just the designs then anyone can do this but if you are talking about a business plan, then a professional needs to be in charge of this.

I think the software tools such as Auto Cad are just helping the architect to do the job. It is a legal requirement to have an architect to design and draw a building plan.

The problem is that we humans tend to abuse everything. The software were nor designed to make everyone draw business plans. I now see law graduates drawing business plan because of a software.

In our country, your house design will be approved by the municipal council only when it is drawn by a professional architect. So, we still need an architect to draw building plans.

There are other calculations that are integrated into the building plan beyond just the design. And it is only architects that can run that.

There are certain risks that are not worth taking in business. How would you allow a non architect to design your building? I can't do that. Let's leave professional works for the professionals.
