My Inspiration

     One day my hope is to be a successful and practical, modern architect. What interests me most is modern residential architecture. Everything in me wants to specialize in this subject of architecture; to design and create such structures that a family can live both comfortably and sophisticatedly within. Our generation is constantly evolving. Old becoming new, vintage becoming sterilized, and technology becoming unbelievably smarter. Ever since I was in the 7th grade, my being has been drawn to homes. Unique homes; ones where you can't help but stare just to realize how incredible that architect designed that particular structure. 

     There's just something that intrigues myself to be able to drive by a house like one of the above and say that I built that. That I spent hard hours drafting, creating, and designing a home for a family and know that they will be more than just happy with it, but also look forward to living in it each and every day for the rest of their lives.

     Dwell Magazine is definitely one of my favorites. Every page can easily become an inspiration and continues to support my decision of becoming an architect. A goal of mine is for one of my structures to be displayed in Dwell one day. Maybe that's a ridiculous and far-fetched goal, but I don't care. 

     God only knows what I'll specialize in, but as of now, residential architecture is where my interest lies. I see myself as a very clean and well organized person, and I want to display my personality in each and every one of my structures, whatever they may be. Yeah it's only my first semester in this program, but I have been planning my career and goals in this area for over 6 years now and I would want nothing more than to have these plans fall into place perfectly. But we'll see how it goes, I've got a few more years ahead of me to finalize this all out. But as of now, this is it. This is me.
