Ask any question relating to the profession, working with an architect, background information, etc.

What do you like about this subject?

Architecture is in the backdrop of everything we do. It affects us physically and psychologically. It is important to understand why and how buildings evolved based on materials, culture, and budget.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

I spent my early years in Turkey and Greece surrounded by ancient and classical buildings. These left an indelible imprint on my psyche. However I graduated with a Master degree in a program based on Bauhaus philosophy. So, I have an ambivalence as I stand between both approaches seemingly in a chasm!
