For anyone who knows anything about me this might sound strange. I do really like talking and going on and on about almost anything, from politics to fashion, yet I don't really enjoy talking about myself. I am strong-willed and have this annoying idea that I can and should have and express an opinion about anything, I can commit myself to a project and I cannot really settle down until I am fully satisfied with the outcome. I have no problem in working really long hours and I strongly believe that we work better when working both as individuals and in groups. I am of the opinion that we are nothing without connections and social skills, either we are architects or anything else.
I think I cannot fully explain who I am or what I am
about, maybe it's because even I don't really know who I am. yet I think I know
what I want to be.
As we grew old everyone kept asking the very same
question; "what are you going to do with your life?" well the first answer that came to mind was the easy one; "I want to study". For me architecture has not always been an
one-way solution. Yet now, if you ask me there would be no better subject to
study. In fact it was a quite spontaneous decision and I have struggled through
the years to find what exactly was that made architecture such an appealing
idea. In my senior year and while trying to specify the aspect I would like to develop
as my final thesis it just hit me. I want to create a safe and affordable
environment for everyone. I need to know that architects can help people and
communities and we(?) do not act only in benefit of the privileged. I want to
be a socially engaged architect creating relief projects by using participatory
approach in planning. I strongly believe that whatever we design is never
complete as designing is an ongoing process that can change through time if and
when its "user" change.
ps. I am really bad at math but I think that's a little bit over 100 words :/ :)
