First Moment when you realized you wanted to be an Architect
In school, I’ve always been interested in practical as well as creative subjects such as math and art. I believe Architecture is an extensive blend of that. As a child, I admired my grandfather’s masonry work and intrigued me to think about the built environment ever since.
