I practised as an architect for 10 years. I qualified in 1973 with a fellowship diploma of architecture. World Series Cricket gave me the freedom to go out and pursue architecture.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was good at football and cricket at school. My dad said, 'Son, be an architect,' and I came to Melbourne passionate about becoming an architect.
I wanted to be an architect. I used to draw houses and buildings and construct buildings on my own.
Once I got out of architecture school I decided not to be an architect, I just started my own little design studio.
Architecture has always been a very idealistic profession. It's about making the world a better place, and it works over the generations because people go on vacation and they look for it.
From when I was about seven, I thought I wanted to be an architect. I've always loved spaces and dwellings in general.
My dad designed houses and was an architect for many years.
When I started designing in school, I discovered that I had a knack for it. I fell completely in love with architecture, and I remain in love with it.
I come from a long line of architects. I'm the only one who did not become an architect, but I've been around the drawing aspect and construction my whole life.
I quit college. I was studying architecture for about a year.
I could have been an architect, but I don't think I'd have been very happy. Nearly all modern architecture is a silly game as far as I can see.
