Perhaps most of the architect students have a dream of designing and constructing a well known building, a huge masterpiece, a skyscraper or an art museum, so was I.
to be famous, to be a legend.
One of millions may stand a chance to become such person, like Zaha Hadid.
you can say it's just a dream, a target. impractical.
People asked me, ''why architecture?''
I didn't know the reason too actually.
I lied in interview.
''I love buildings.
I found them interesting.
I think the history of architecture is greatly influencing the life of human.
I wish to contribute in developing a environmental friendly construction system.''
Ya, all those bullshits to backup myself.
If my friends ask me,
I would tell them,
''I like drawing?
I don't like memorizing.
I love designing, I will love my job in the future.''
Those are still bullshits for me.
but then,
No more magnificent skyscraper for me but a residential area.
Why?
Maybe I used to think that I have a family that not that warm.
it's not a bad family, my parents love me.
money is more than enough too.
just lacks something.
I always jealous family that chat and laugh hard together.
share stories and secrets.
but I am wearing a mask even at home.
I just wish to have my own home, my family.
I wish to wake up beside my wife, perhaps my kids. everyday.
morning kiss and night kiss. everyday.
it's just still too far away.
I hope I can build homes for other people.
I will be very happy to see what I did there.
Seeing people live and build their family in the house I built.
That's one of the greatest feeling.
so why architecture?
because I wish to build home.
I hope I built mine one day.
I'm waiting for that day.
