Personal Statement Of Architecture

For my overall college education there are many goals I hope to achieve besides just a college degree. First off, I hope to have a great education and learning experience throughout college. I also would like to grow a reputation for myself that can help me in a positive way in the future. I hope to be more involved in leadership and throughout Iowa State University. At the end of my college education, I hope to have many opportunities for a career and my future.

Everything that I desire hinges upon the quality and depth of my education. Completing high school is merely the beginning of a much longer journey during which I will receive an enormous

Acquiring self satisfaction is my main goal in life, how I achieve it is by doing the things I enjoy and have a passion for. Deciding to study building surveying was made based on a few reasons that I believe can help me obtain self satisfaction in my studies and in my future endeavours. Having the opportunity of working both in the office and on the field is the key factor in me choosing to pursue my study in building surveying. Travelling to different locations, being exposed to different conditions and work sites, exploring the natural phenomena around me and being able to assist the community by helping to develop a safe and sustainable environment. With an increasing demand and growth in the building industry, as a building surveying student

I want to be a great example in my family of how an education can enhance your life. College will not only get you a degree but an entire future. College will help you earn a job and make connections with professors that can impact your life. An education will always create new opportunities that you would never have. I want to impact my community by being an example and mentoring those around

"Our relationship to almost every building changes over time, and for all kinds of reasons". (Goldberger, 2009).In everyday experiences when we confront a building, it is rare for our non-related architectural perceptions and thoughts to disappear from our mind, no matter how intense our interaction is. This happens when a piece of architecture functions just as a background mood in our consciousness, however closely we encounter the object. This can be explained as the effect of time on our relationship to architectural works in everyday experiences in modern and post-modern eras. This can bring an advantage of numbing a negative feeling towards a piece.But our relationship with buildings

Louis Henry Sullivan was the architect that created and promoted the paramount precept to 19th century architectural design, ‘form follows function.’ The idea behind the design philosophy was that, “structural and aesthetic considerations should be entirely subject to functionality it was met with both approval and scepticism.” (Boundless, 2017) Modern architecture is commonly defined by its simplification of form. Early modern architecture began in the 20th century, with attempts to integrate, “the principles underlying architectural design with rapid technological advancement and the modernization of society.” (Boundless, 2017)

As writer, interior designer, educator, and American architect Frank Lloyd Wright once said, “The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization” (BrainyQuote). The purpose of this paper will deal with the description of...

Regions use the earth mixed with certain ingredients then to be left out in the sun to dry into bricks, when they lacked timber and stone.

I want to succeed, I want to thrive. I was created for a purpose, and I intend to fulfill it. My high school chemistry teacher told me I have some “I want to save the world” in me. She told me that after she is gone, she believes that I will make her smile down on me from heaven, or wherever she ends up. I intend to make her do just that. I want to write about what matters. I want people to listen to what I have to say. I want people to take me seriously. I want to be an English major, and I want to show all the kids who wish to become English majors that it isn’t a pointless degree. I want to know how you destroy a monster without creating one. I want to go to law school so I can fight for innocent people put on death row. I want to publish a novel. I want to make my parents proud. I want to be a woman who everyone can look up

Architecture should be nurturing, responsive and alive, dynamically shifting spatial balances, organically expressive forms, subtly luminous colors and biologically healthy. To achieve such life-enhancing architecture, it has to address all the body senses simultaneously and fuse our image of self with experience of the world. By strengthening our sense of self and reality, architecture serves its all-important function of accommodation and

To try and go above and beyond for my students, To help me be that voice that my students might need one day. Whether it is to help them find their own voice or encourage them to keep going against all odds that might come up before them. Evaluating my own and others’ experiences can help me have a better connection with my future students. The classes that I have taken have made me want to be a Diversity and Multicultural Scholar and a Social Justice Collaborator through my LS 380: Teaching for Social Change, LS 394: Multicultural literature , and LS 398: Social Foundations of Multicultural Education classes. I really hope I can become this inspired Educator one

In Wright and An alto's houses, a powerful sense of insides is generate by opacity. Which, in Falling water is express in roughly dressed stone masonry walls and, in Villa Mairea. By white-painted, solid walls. The transparency of glass windows in both houses thereby connect the two. In both houses, the architects created a strong sense of insideness yet, at the same time, devised ways to connect inside and outside and thereby create a robust continuity between the two. This inside-outside relationship can be translate into environmental and architectural experience in four different ways: (1) in-betweeness; (2) interpenetration generated by inside; (3) interpenetration generated by outside; and (4)

A five-foot five-inch replica of the Empire State Building that I stacked entirely with playing cards back in high school was the first time I appreciated the subtleties involved in creating complex card structures. I gradually progressed to stacking domes and a full-sized stadium, but the way this tower held together fascinated me, and I realized that there was much more going on in addition to the seemingly obvious concept of maintaining the right balance. After all, nothing could be that simple. Likewise, after four years of undergraduate studies in civil engineering, it seems to me I have barely scratched its surface. A graduate school will allow me to delve deep and let me explore the finer aspects of the field. Furthermore, this is crucial in terms of achieving my long-term goal of pursuing a PhD to carve out a career in industrial research.

“ Architecture organizes and structures space for us, and its interiors and the objects enclosing and inhabiting its rooms can facilitate or inhibit our activities by the way they use this language”(Lawson pg.6).

Architecture can be viewed with two different types of properties. Properties that can be seen like shapes, their composition, the spaces they create and, the colours and textures that make up their appearance. These properties are considered to be visual while other properties are considered to be abstract. These properties can only be described using words; the meanings behind the architecture and the stories that can be told about it. The context, its cultural background and its function also affects how we view architecture. The question is, what
