Architecture for me is probably a compilation of all fields and professions. In architecture, everything applies. As my professor said, it tackles science, arts and commerce. I realized that it cannot be complete without one of the mentioned, the laws of physics applies to the creation of the house to make it durable and safe. The math applies in the calculations and statistics for the measurement of the house. Arts applies is the design and lastly, commerce applies to the financial concerns. Also, my friend said that architecture is the mother of all arts, I kind of agree to it, because architecture can be designed with any kind of art. I don’t know much about it, but I’m pretty sure it’s something worth putting a lot of effort on.
Honestly, I never imagined myself being an architect; it wasn’t really on my list. Most of my friends are taking up civil engineering and architecture in different schools, when I got to see them do their work; models, all the math and science and cad; I suddenly enjoyed doing it also. My father was the one who told me that architecture is better than my previous course, that’s the main reason why I shifted. Right now, I’m starting to like it and I want to pursue it until it becomes my passion. Everybody is unique; I want to get that title when I become an architect; I want to be unique. Of course, I have my own perspectives, I like kichi architecture and I want to customize it and add some of my own style. I like modern yet cute styles of architecture. I say modern, improvised kichi, multi-colored and environmentalist architecture. I want to achieve success 10 years from now; I want to have my own name, my own title, my own company. I want to be a famous architect in a good way. I want to be remembered. I guess, that’s what I want to achieve. I will be famous, rich yet a humble architect; that’s how I see my future.
I don’t know much about the history of architecture. I haven’t even travelled out of the Luzon or even the country. Whenever I see houses, whenever I see the difference between every house, I always say to myself that, someday, I will possess one of those houses. Today, I never thought that one day, I will be the owner and the designer of the houses I see fascinating. I find the modern designed houses captivating; I see it so organized and clean, it makes me stare at it for so long. Also, I notice the colorful yet simple designs attractive. The designs that make me feel uncomfortable are the designs that appear like a haunted house. Anything that is exaggeratedly oversized and dark makes me feel scared and it makes me feel like I don’t want to go in nor design such house. Other designs that make me feel discomforts are the designs that use color too much and those colors do not match. I haven’t seen anything like that lately, and I hope that I will not see any of that in the future.
