.NET Developer with more than 9 years experience

Question

Hi Friends, I have been working as a .NET developer for more than 9 years. I have worked in 3 companies before joining my current company. In my current company, I am working as a contractor deputed to some MNC as a Developer. I want to become an Architect, but due to my current position not getting enough scope to reach that level. Please suggest me on how to build my career from now onwards and become a successful Architect.
