arch Essays - Architectural Design, Architecture,

I have chosen to study architecture because I believe it is the most important and relevant subject in the world. I have a desire to understand how buildings are designed and how do they look on papers before construction. Architecture has fascinated me since early childhood, when I loved to visit museums and historical sites specially that I live on the land of heritage and valuable historical constructions, Egypt. I could not believe the immense impact ancient Egyptian architecture had on the world. It in turn had a huge impact on me, and consolidated my love for architecture. Studying Mathematics for IGCSE, A-Level and some design courses has been good preparation for what the degree course would entail. I have successfully learned the skills of analysis, drawings and how to infer from sources. It has encouraged me to read around the topic at hand and to research independently. I have greatly enjoyed the course and was very pleased with my exceptional results. During that time, I started buying architectural books and skimming over the pictures. I wasn?t able to gain a full understanding about the field but a simple background on what is architecture that allowed me to apply for the B.Sc degree in architectural engineering (Architecture Concentration) at Ain Shams University, Faculty of Engineering.
