why did you become an architect

Now that’s interesting!

A good friend of mine once said to me:

“It’s always been my dream to create something in my head and then realise it. Seeing dreams made flesh is the most rewarding part of my day. The ability to design smarter, better and more imaginative – to add something to the environment and proudly say, I did that.”

Maybe a little idealistic, but it’s ideals that create ambition.

something along the lines of what lex’s mate said. the built reality of something i’ve conceived and designed, or played a part int the process, is very rewarding. other minor considerations like the money i might make (which i’ve now realised i probably won’t in this game) and the fact that i had to move away to study it in the capital helped.
