Hello Aris, pursuing a career in Architecture is truly fulfilling! You have the power to touch lives daily by crafting spaces that cater to each individual's distinct experiences. You essentially become a solution provider, meeting the unique needs of people. If you have a knack for solving puzzles and a keen eye for spatial visualization, then this is the ideal career path for you. Granted, the journey to reaching this point can be lengthy, but the rewards at the end are absolutely worth every step taken. Each day presents new intriguing challenges to conquer and innovative solutions to discover. Thriving in this field requires a love for interacting with people and an exceptional ability to listen. Embracing criticism is also key, as not everyone will resonate with your solutions. However, in the end, you'll strike a balance that leaves both you and your client satisfied, at least most of the time!
Here's wishing you all the best on your exciting journey.

Hey there, Aris! Kudos to you for your curiosity about the architectural world. When I embarked on this path, I found the thrill in designing buildings and reshaping spaces to be the most exciting part. As I neared the end of my journey, I found myself delving into the legal aspects of creating a well-designed space, and navigating the maze of government bodies overseeing these rules (like making sure not to obstruct a fire exit). The biggest reward (or challenge, depending on how you see it) of being an architect is taking full ownership of the space you're designing.
Thank you for taking the time to help.
