Architecture to me is a more than just the creation of space but it’s about the questioning of the spaces we live in, play in and work in. I have always wanted to be an architect, since my childhood days spent watching BBC home renovations, fascinated by the ingenuity of the art of transformation the architects performed. This developed into a passion of drawing (a basic standard start for most architects) and poetry, but my inspiration for the field was different. I always looked up to Leonardo Da Vinci as he was not only a symbol of accomplishment but one of oddity. He was not conventional and as such I hoped my architecture would be dynamic and unique . Therefore studying architecture not only showed me that was possible but also opened my eyes to a world beyond my wildest dreams. Becoming more than just aesthetics but the meaning and purpose behind why spaces are important in society and their ability to confront, define and change. That is the architecture I am passionate about, one that chooses to be a confrontation of normalcy, a definition of reality and a statement to the arbitrary-one that is Audacious.
