I have been thinking a lot recently about what some of my early inspiration was to become an architect. A lot of people attribute it to perhaps playing with legos, or having an artistic background. While I did in fact play with legos, and do have an artistic background, I think a big part of my aspiration was my father. He is a computer engineer, but is actually very crafty and creative when he puts his mind to it. He built a tree house for my brother and I when I was 4, and I remember the excitement he had completing his project. He designed and built the small house, and we used it for over a decade. That is the beauty of Architecture, we get to create actual spaces for living people! I love that tree house to this day, and cannot wait to create spaces for people to create lasting memories in, just like I had in my dads tree house.
