Architecture Personal Statement
While growing up, I had connections and liking, particularly for the design of the houses. I would always collect photographs and drawing of houses idiosyncratic to my choice and store them in a gallery while some I would stick them on the walls of my room. The collections were assembled from the various trips to new places I traveled to and from movies that I watched. I paid attention to every detail that would fascinate me and picked the best photographs for my gallery. I would then simulate the designs in the collection and make models of those houses collected from different sources. After high school, I joined the University to pursue a degree in interior design to further my dreams and develop my career. Each day I learned different perspectives and knowledge concerning the interior designs of structures, and my enthusiasm and discoveries expanded. This way, the passions would culminate in my architectural interests.
My stay at the university study interior design has been transformational. Coupled with passion and enthusiasm, I have been eager to learn new details features and knowledge beyond what the confined of the class placed at my disposal. For instance, lifestyle and real estate magazines, which are beyond the realm of the class setting, have significantly enhanced my perspectives and design skills because of the emerging and creative content in them. I have always looked forward to developing content that reflects the tastes and interests that would make clients’ abode an exciting and magnificent dwelling place to retreat at the end of the day. My imaginations have been to revolutionize the owners’ experience a reality to match with comfort and routine activities of the dwellings. The ideas I have in mind has the ultimate goal of matching the events with house design. Whether it is relaxing while reading a book or enjoying the family parties. The interior design role entails building a structure that combines technical expertise with excellent communication skills to exhaust the opinions from clients to effectively recommend means and materials that will transform a space or house that will finally meet the clients’ aesthetics.
Even as I switch to the degree in Architecture, the institution I am currently in motivates me by the fact that it has opened up my intellectual perspective as well as personal experience towards best practices in interior design and architecture. Studying away from an utterly new environment would make my dream possible because I would be in a position to contrast the situation at home and where I am present. It will make it possible to cultivate creativity by identifying gaps in designs and bring in something new for the world to appreciate. Besides, I am looking forward to gaining relevant knowledge, attitude, and skills necessary after the successful and completed switch to architecture. As an architect, my role will pertain to ensuring that all the elements of the building, including materials, structural design, plumbing, wiring, are harmoniously integrated to realized a functional unit. Given the background that I have built so far, I believe that my career as an architect will be an informed one based on a robust understanding of both interior design as well as architectural design requirements.
I believe the institution and the interior design course has already accorded me the much need challenge to transform my career into architecture. Even as I switch to architecture, I believe the course and the institution I join will provide a more challenging environment as well as the opportunities to sharpen my skills, knowledge, and attitudes. The new educational mentors, such as instructors, friends, and colleagues at the practicum, hopefully, will be a source of guidance and inspiration during my career development. I intend to keep abreast of the latest development in the world over, as architect demands, taking into consideration the diversity in culture and heritage of people and nations.
