What is it mean to be an Architect?

To be passionate, to be sarcastic, critical, well informed, and to never give up. They say Architecture is the sexiest profession. Is that because of our passion to it, that we can work night and day, long-long ours, with no pay, and small satisfaction? With almost no friends because we don’t have time for them? No, I hope that is not the case. But being a student of Architecture in my 6th year of studying, I do experience problems with time, and energy. Thank god my friends didn’t give up on me yet, and I don’t only have Architect friends. It is good to talk about something else every now and then. It was funny when my best friend, who is an economist by the way, went out couple of times with my architecture friends. She said with her friends she would never talk about uni and work and Economy and articles in their free time, and how interesting it is that we never turn off…

This film was about an American Architect name Howard Roark working hard his way up, never letting go, and being so passionate about his beliefs. Did it pay off? No, not really. Interesting to make a film about it. Was amazing though, playing with emotions throughout the whole movie. Full with romance, and how the girl married someone else instead.
It is about our profession, it is about being an Architect. It depends on us in the future how we deal with it.
