I have been a developer for approx 10 yrs. I want to know how can I consider myself to be an archtect level techie? How can developer move from code level development, to architect?
I obviously want to move up the tech ladder, and architecture seems appealing.
A second question would be, how do I learn about application architecture (big picture), in terms of 3.5 framework?
Any advise is appreciated.

Application Architect Requirements:Bachelor's degree in computer science with a specialization in software engineering, application development, or similar. A minimum of 2 years experience as an application architect, preferably in a related industry.
The tech industry relies heavily on applications architects and this translates to great demand for these professionals. According to BLS, the number of job opportunities in this profession will grow substantially in the next decade.
Applications architects require a high level of technical expertise, combined with excellent planning, coordination and communication skills, and the ability to work on teams.
An application architecture describes the patterns and techniques used to design and build an application. The architecture gives you a roadmap and best practices to follow when building an application, so that you end up with a well-structured app. Software design patterns can help you to build an application.
There are two criteria for being a software architect:
(1) You have to call yourself one.
(2) You have to convince someone to pay you to architect software.
Everything else is just scaffolding. If you're good at "big picture" development and planning, try to sell yourself as an architect on your next job search. If someone buys it, you're an architect.
