I came to architecture from building. Because my father was a builder, everybody was - and is - a builder in my family.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm a trained architect. Both my parents were architects.
My dad designed houses and was an architect for many years.
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.
My dad was not happy about my not becoming an architect like him.
I was built up from my dad more than anyone else.
Until I was six years old we lived in the projects, then my two brothers and three sisters and I moved to a three-bed that my mother's father built.
My dad is a builder, and my mum's a nurse. They're just very normal people.
My father was a construction engineer, and my mother was a production engineer.
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.
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.
