My Passion For Architecture

Design is an influential ability, an absorbing skill created from our innovations and perceptions. As we create our own unique conceptions, we strive to produce a parallel amid the world around us and our imaginations. As Tadao Ando stated “I believe that the way people live can be directed a little by architecture". As I see it, structures personify and represent the various current cultures, showing how powerful and infinite people's intellect can be. Expressing oneself is what makes us unique. The Passion I have for architecture is my drive for inspiration and provides me with remarkable determination and aspiration.

Growing up in South Africa, my curiosity towards the different elements and cultures that shape my environment sparked an interest in structures and design of not only buildings but of towns, cities and the people that inhabit the spaces. It was not until last year that I realised a deeper creativity and understanding of architecture, as in unit 4, we explored architecture through a dream city: a South African city for which we created the rules and had the freedom to explore architectural ideals. Not only did I design buildings but through the understanding of the culture and the people of South Africa, specifically Pretoria, I was able to create more than a building in context, but rather design a future lifestyle for people and the environment. I was able to gain a higher respect for the design world, during this time, and also truly had an opportunity to appreciate the hard work that is required to design and create.

This understanding has allowed my passion to advance even more, therefore contributing to my decision to further my studies at a more advanced level. I feel your course will challenge my creati...

I will feel privileged to be a part of such an establishment. I would like to take advantage of the array of possibities offered, to challenge conventional thinking and ultimately strive towards creating impact. I aspire to achieve the ability to express my creativity convincingly and confidently. I wish to cultivate my inquisitiveness further by researching new concepts and ideas, explore the use of new technologies. Redesign and Rethink.
