My Journey of Exploring the World of Architecture
I feel incredibly fortunate to have received professional training in such a dynamic and supportive environment.
If you're reading this, you might be contemplating a path in architecture or simply exploring your options. Allow me to share my personal experience and insights into this fascinating field. There are countless reasons to delve into architecture, and as an art lover deeply concerned about society, nature, and humanity, I firmly believe that this discipline is truly worth exploring.
My journey into architecture began several years ago when I enrolled in the Professional Diploma in Architectural Studies, a three-year part-time program offered by HKUSPACE. This initial step paved the way for my seamless transition into the second year of the Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Architectural Studies program, a collaborative effort between the University of Plymouth and HKU SPACE. Now, as I enter my final year at Plymouth, I am excited to share that I have received an offer to join the Master in Architecture program at the University of Hong Kong this coming summer. This opportunity is a testament to the hard work and dedication that have shaped my educational experience thus far.
Reflecting on my time at HKU SPACE, I feel incredibly fortunate to have received professional training in such a dynamic and supportive environment. The program has been enriched by excellent teachers, many of whom have become friends. Their guidance has been invaluable, helping me navigate the complexities of architectural studies and fostering a sense of community within our cohort.
My journey is not unique. Many alumni from the HKU SPACE architectural programs have followed a similar path, striving to achieve their dreams of becoming professional architects. It’s inspiring to see my peers participating in remarkable architectural projects, each contributing to the field in their own unique ways. This shared experience underscores the strength of our program and the vibrant network we have built together.
For those aspiring to excel in architectural studies, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of curiosity and passion. These qualities are essential for anyone looking to make a meaningful impact in the world of architecture. Embrace your interests, stay inquisitive, and let your passion guide you as you explore this captivating field.
I believe that architecture is more than just a career; it's a way to engage with the world around us. Whether you are an art enthusiast or someone eager to make a difference, I encourage you to consider this rewarding journey. The world of architecture awaits, filled with opportunities to create, inspire, and transform our built environment. As you embark on this journey, remember that passion and curiosity are your greatest allies. Happy exploring!
