...I got interested in architecture at about age 14, when I realized that. Later on, it continued to be an interest as I continued to be interested in art and science. And I felt as much as I loved art that it wasn't somehow enough and science seemed too much or not enough either, and to me the mixture, being able to do both seemed interesting, and architecture seemed close to that. At one time I thought about industrial design, because that also seemed to have the components of art, design, and how things are made and go together-useful objects being beautiful. It was interesting for me at a certain point, and I actually started architecture school with the thought that I'd become an industrial designer. The industrial designers that I knew of had backgrounds in architecture. But then as I progressed in the study I determined that actually I was more interested in buildings. So after about one year in architecture school I was gripped more by the making of buildings than the making of toasters, and continued that way.
