1. Bachelor of Science in Architecture is the first course to take to become an architect. You can then go into Urban Planning, Facilities Management, and all the other courses available for an added education.
2. Of course these areas are related so there isn't any one that wouldn't enrich your knowledge of archictecture and the relationships to the environment and surrounds. But if being the architect is your prime goal, you can leave off Landscape Architecture, Urban Planning. The Planning and Design and the Property and Construction sound more like contracting, management of the construction site, and hands-on building skills. Obviously all very useful but I would bet there is not much emphasis on actual design/creation issues--more on implementation of the design. Usually the Architectural Studies degree is more of an overview of criticism/history/implications of the architectural environment. Not design, not hands-on but more analysis and overview. I have no idea what the New Generations Environments thing is. That leaves the Architecture degree as the one for a person who wants to learn how to design buildings. There are bound to be classes that overlap between the areas though. Usually it is quite competitive to get into good architecture programs, so you need to talk to faculty at the school(s) you might attend, and find out entrance criteria. Get a summer job working with a builder. Work on Habitat for Humanities projects. You will be a better architect for having hands-on experience with real materials.
