  2. Hi Pat, love your videos. I have a question for you. I've been wanting to become an architect for quite some time. I try my best at my designs and ideas. However, my only problem is that I'm not amazing at math. It's not like I hate math either, I actually like it to an extent. I just have hard times understanding schoolwork sometimes. But anyways, I wanna ask if the work of an architect is based more around mathematics and calculations, or more around problem solving. Keep up the good work! :D

  6. My dream is to practice professionally as both architect and engineer. Im an undergraduate Civil Engineering student, has anyone heard of the concurrent MSc Structural Eng / MArch program? Will this path lead to a career in both fields simultaneously?

  10. what about Frank Lloyd Wright? I am a student at Taliesin, and I know more than most the mixed information around the man (he is one of the hardest to understand because of his seemingly contradictory writings/philosophy and his buildings), but he definitely deserves a video. Good luck!

  21. Aaah Calatrava, as a Trekkie I can say nothing is more like the star trek future us Trekkie want than Calatrava's buildings. Walking inside those organic white halls he makes is just like being at Federation Academy.
