My interest in Architecture has now been so immense that I can say that my duration of 5 year's study for the entire course of Bachelor of Architecture has been a ride in wonderland. I completed my Bachelor's Degree with utmost sincerity and passion.

Architecture has been a new experience to me, so much that none in my entire family is even closely related to Architecture. I got to know about this amazing world of Architecture through my father, an Electrical Engineer by profession. I had special interests in Painting and Art ever since my childhood. I have spent my vacations in craft making. These started off with making simple decorative pieces to replicating complex objects like transport vehicles and imaginative aircraft by making use of card-board as the principle material. Making models became my passion. Observing these inherent qualities in me, my father gradually allured me to the vast field of Architecture.

What Architecture gave to me were the subjects of these models, rising from those monotonous reproductive models to new, self-conceptualized designs. Slowly, as my Architectural courses continued, modeling in both imaginative and concrete forms began to take precedence. The Building Form began to overwhelm me.

The study of basic architectural courses, such as architectural structure, mechanics and materials science, makes me realize that architecture not only gives importance on aesthetics, but also emphasizes on the more essential functionality and practicality. In that process, I realized that architecture is not only an art, but also more importantly a technology. Five years of college studies gave me a deeper comprehension of architecture, that is, architecture is also part of other cultures - it is subject to other cultures' influence, and at the same time it influences other cultures.

In the initial days of my Architectural courses, I felt a slight lack of imaginative skills in me. It was only towards the beginning of my second year

    My stage-craft courses taught me how to bring my imagination to life on the sets of our school plays. My position on the yearbook staff allowed me to master Adobe InDesign and Photoshop. And lastly, the hours I have spent serving homeless, disabled, elderly, and sick people in my community have opened my eyes to the countless opportunities for growth within the environment that our population inhabits. The job of an architect can be more than one of aesthetics; an architect can assist in public concerns. By understanding the power that an architect has, I want to design hospitals that better patient experience and healing, schools that feed the creativity of students, and homes that improve happiness and…

    Architectural buildings are an important part of art and life because they express human creativity and unique qualities. Notably, over the last one decade, architecture has gone through significant transformation. Nevertheless, despite how old an architectural design becomes with time, it retains certain qualities which makes it appreciate value (Bressani, 2014, 12). For example, old architectural designs such as enlightenment period buildings during the 18th and century are still being combined with modern design to create marvelous structures (Bressani, 2014, 39). Despite architectural changes, these structures still embody history, memory, or tradition of formal architectural standards. Among the examples of these building include Pond…

    “It is not enough to see architecture; you must experience it. You must observe how it was designed for a special purpose and how it was attuned to the entire concept and rhythm of a specific era. You must dwell in the rooms, feel how they close about you, observe how you are naturally led from one to the other”…

    Robert Venturi was only thirty-four when he was requested by his mother to design and build a house for her. Up until this time all of Venturi’s designs had been mostly theoretical. He was now given a chance to make them concrete.2 It could be understood that Robert’s mother’s house was designed to help him with his career; he was given an opportunity to design and construct a building instead of writing and teaching about them. The Vanna Venturi House was to be Robert Venturi’s first building. Like many architects he was driven to test his ideas through construction.3 The house went through six basic schemes and six models were made to clearly exhibit the form of the house and Venturi’s evolving ideas.4…

    Askins was in Virginia for two years with summers off. He got lucky again that one of his classmates had attended Attingham Park School, which was an American funded program in England that allows students to visit English country houses. The program was related to historical architecture, and it had the best lectures possible. It was one of the best things that Mr. Askins has ever done in his life. Mr. Askins received a half scholarship to the program and stayed for the full extent plus a couple of extra days. The experience was very intense they started at the crack of dawn and went late into the night, but he had the best time he had ever had in his life. He had been working as a summer intern and they allowed him to leave to attend this program. After his trip the architectural firm allowed every intern they had to attend the Attingham Park School fully funded by the company. Mr. Askins still says it is the most amazing thing he has ever done. The program gave him a new level of confidence because he was working with members who were experts in their specific fields. It helped him develop a taste in architecture and renewed his interest of working with the peripherals included with historic architecture. Going through this program gave him the whole picture when it comes to building classical homes and he believes it is likely the drive and spark behind his…
