I didn't know what architecture was except that I lived in a house. I don't even think that I knew the word for a long time. My dad funneled me into engineering because it was his background.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
Of course I know very little about architecture, and the older I get the less I know.
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.
My dad designed houses and was an architect for many years.
I was always really geeky about design and buildings. Always into architecture as a kid.
Architecture is the story of how we see ourselves. It is the architect's job to service everyday life.
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.
I'm a trained architect. Both my parents were architects.
I came to architecture from building. Because my father was a builder, everybody was - and is - a builder in my family.
I went to school for engineering, I studied jazz. So I always had this kind of creative side and technical side, and I thought architecture might be the way to combine them, so I went to architecture school in New York.
