VITRUVIUS the Roman architect - “Strength, Utility, Beauty”

It is no secret that the moon has no light of her own, but is, as it were, a mirror, receiving brightness from the influence of the sun.

Two Basic Questions

To everyone who wants to be an architect, here I represent to you  two basics questions that I hope you’d able to answer clearly and sincerely.

First, why do you want to be an architect?

And last, what do you want to do as an architect?

To me, it’s kind of funny when you don’t know why do you want to do something and what to do with your doing. I expect everybody to have goals in life. At least to be happy, and better to make people happier. I might be too harsh, but the truth is not always kind.

I already met few of the architects and mostly I was not really impressed. I always hope that I will meet a good architect one day in person. I wouldn’t care weather he got a big name or not. Well, I have my own definition of good architect.

Below are the things that define a good architect:

1. Sensitivity to the surroundings

2. Sense of art and good design

3. Ability to elaborate and collaborate problems to find solutions

4. Have the courage to break the rules

5. Stay true to the nature

6. Keep every design real and construct-able for the time being

7. Curiosity to gain knowledge in everything

8. Always put his head on the ground not the sky above

9. Open to new technology, material, and other’s opinions

10. Stand to his philosophy like a rock, but still listen to others for improvement.

It’s going to be a lie if i say that they were purely my thoughts. The truth is i am inspired by Virtuvius words in The Ten Book of Architecture and other things. I wish I had read the book sooner, but later is still better than never. Please, read the book or listen to the audio  book. It is the very basic book.
