Being a great software architect isn't about using the latest and greatest technologies.
It's about:
<ul>
<li>building the simplest thing that could possibly work</li>
<li>making decisions based on tradeoffs</li>
<li>collaborating well with others</li>
<li>solving business problems</li>
<li>leaning on experience</li>
</ul>
Certainly learn all the latest technologies, techniques, and patterns you can.
It will make you better at your job.
Just realize that this knowledge alone won't make you a great software architect.
It's much more than that.

Is your team making the right architectural decisions?
Do they have the experience needed?
