Do you have to be able to paint to be an architect?
I want to study architecture. I can sketch well but not so well at painting.

Good Morning,
I successfully completed my studies in architecture and even had fun. I can't paint. To draw geometric shapes with the geographic triangle, I always fell slightly.
For what you should have a rough understanding of how to be creative and create something new that can fulfill its purpose.
So you don't have to paint. That you are gifted in sketching will help you in your studies. This sketching is really fundamental part of the creative work as an architect.
The study also covers many technical aspects relating to buildings. However, one does not have to be good in physics or so for studying, because the respective modules in their studies treat their fields rather superficially. Here, however, there are often one or two modules that are important for the entire study. So if you're technically charged, it helps to take such hurdles.
The most difficult in architectural studies is the time pressure under which you are standing. You always hang from levies to levies, from draft to draft, from deadline to deadline. Often you do not get around the necessary night shifts. I have worked on my projects for 16 hours each day for a week in my studies in order to comply with the deadlines. But my time management left something to be desired. Between these “sprints” you also have a lot of time for others.
Studying is very interesting if you are interested in it. You have to have a rough understanding of creativity, spaces and technology. It also helps to make it clear that there will be nothing but study for a few days and it will be very stressful. Besides, you have to deal with hard criticism.

No, but draw. If he can paint something, the architect isn't wrong but no need
drawing, not painting
Architects don't paint. Even hand-drawing architects have been doing no more for decades.
You don't usually draw on the computer either. It's designed. There are also signs for this.
An architect of project management is more manager.
Good Morning,
Most architects are still working in architectural offices. The work with drawing programs is part of daily bread for graduates of architectural studies.
There are, of course, also many who, after studying, do not land in architectural offices, but work in public places – in the building office, in the country, etc.- or in other places in the private sector on the building site or in the project management.
When one has made his experience in work as an architect in the architectural office, one slips up with time and becomes project manager anyway, or begins at some point with self-employment.
Technical drawing also works a lot with programs. That doesn't mean that architects don't do it anymore.
This is all about the PC
The work, if you have the degree behind you, goes to the very largest part on the PC, yes. But for that study you also have to make a lot of manual sketches, models, collages and so on. You almost never have to paint in your studies. It is important that you can quickly put your ideas on paper. It's more like sketching.
You should
What for?
Good Morning,
Painting is not so important for architectural studies. You just have to get his designs, designs and ideas through your hand on paper. But that has nothing to do with painting. Even if creativity and an understanding for colors etc. does not harm to represent his designs appealingly.
