Who is an Architect ?

I found this interesting definition as per James Mcgovern:

think of a good architect as someone who really understands the systems they oversee - not just the classes and the collaborations but the real 'soul' of the system. They're the sort of person who, given a particular change in requirements for their system, will come up with three different solutions but will instinctively know which is the right one to go for (and will then find all the technical justification in terms of changability, performance, robustness, etc.) because they know the system so well. They probably love the system a bit too.
