When I was little, I always wanted to be an architect, but a wise person once told me that if I couldn't make anything out of Lego, architecture wasn't my cup of tea. I'm glad because I don't really like Lego.
Being an architect is no joke. You construct buildings where hundreds of people work or apartments that house over a thousand people.
Being an architect means taking tremendous responsibility and ensuring that the final product is safe, effective, and durable, to an extent. While some architects go a mile for their customers, others go a mile for themselves.
According to some architects, if constructing something makes sense to them, it's good to go. It doesn't matter what people think.
I mean, I love that self-love and self-confidence, but when it comes to architecture, I think a customer's requirements matter most, no?
Imagine hiring an architect to create your dream home only to find out that the architect had other plans and wanted to "experiment" with something through your project? When you hire an architect to build you a house, you expect your house to have a roof and a few windows, right?
But what if the architect gives your house a roof and nothing but windows? Think glasshouse.
It might look luxurious and all, but it'll be a pain in the neck to maintain, and don't even get me started on the replacement of broken glass!
What you're about to see is architects living their dream instead of fulfilling another person's dream!
