Architecture is my chosen career path for several reasons,
the main one being that I have always believed that your degree should be
something that you enjoy. Ever since I
was young I have had a inclination towards design; the ability to create
something out of nothing, to see the world from a different perspective as well
as to solve problems creatively has been a passion of mine for a long time.
Architecture is a powerful tool culturally; many buildings have become staples in our various cultures in different parts of the world as well as in the universal culture of media. My favourite architect is William F. Lamb, the architect responsible for one of the greatest media icons of all time, the Empire State Building in New York. As well as being a great landmark in the USA, it has been the centre of many film plots, famous photographs and stories; its importance in media culture specifically is the reason why it is regarded highly in my eyes, a testimony to the power of imagination and the impact an Architect can have on the world through one idea.
One of the paramount examples of visual beauty in my eyes currently is the Apeiron Hotel in Dubai, a majestic 7-star hotel designed by the Sybarite Architects of London which personally reminds me of a calla lily. The Apeiron Hotel is a great example of how the magic of maths and physics collaborate with aesthetics effectively, showing off the limitless and astounding ability of the architects. It is formed of a single curved shape seeming to defy the laws of physics with a sophisticated new-age flair.
This simple yet complex design is my favourite, and though I am partial to the exotic styles of overseas architects, I do appreciate the ever-increasing collection of architectural gems within London. One piece which I will definitely see in the near future is the Olympic Stadium by Populous, which specialises in sport-related architecture. The stadium seems to communicate a message of tradition in its overall design whilst providing high standard facilities; though from afar it looks simple and robust emulating both the strength of tradition hailed by the Olympic Games, instances of futuristic design are evidenced within the 80,000-seated arena, from the hi-tech materials used for the main event circuit down to the ergonomic seats.
Buildings do not always have to be visual pollution, with the right design they can be great additions to landscapes. In everyday life I like to admire the visual beauty of modern day technology in our society and I believe that Architecture would allow me to finally contribute to my passion effectively.
I am really looking forward to your reply!
