Spot on! An architect should be up to date withtools, paradigms, patterns, etc. This can only be done by using them, i.e. coding. It could be production code or "callistenics" just to try things out. An architect whose only tools are PowerPoint and Word is, in my opinion, doomed to become technically obsolete and out of touch with the issues that affect the dev teams.
