My dad was not happy about my not becoming an architect like him.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My dad designed houses and was an architect for many years.
If you were a son of mine, I wouldn't want you to be an architect, because it's a tough way to be in the world.
I came to architecture from building. Because my father was a builder, everybody was - and is - a builder in my family.
I went to visit my father to tell him that I was going to go to college and become an architect - that was my dream. I was like, yeah I graduated from school, but it's not like you showed up for that. But all he was worried about is whether or not I wanted money from him.
My dad wanted me to be a businessman, but I felt that wasn't for me.
I worked with my dad for 15 years. I apprenticed under him and decided I wanted to become an architect. So I went to college for it and then the acting bug got me.
Once I got out of architecture school I decided not to be an architect, I just started my own little design studio.
I never talked about architecture with my father, which I regret.
The day I went to see my father to say I wanted to become an architect, he was a bit surprised, because for him being a builder is much more than being just an architect. He was very angry, and I never thought I could do something else.
I'm a trained architect. Both my parents were architects.
