Manchester
School of Architecture is
the perfect place to study for any creative soul, with an architectural dream
of making a statement in this world. Being one of the best Universities in
the architectural field, any student with the goal of being an architect would
want to graduate at MSA.
Personally,
I think that MSA is a ‘full package’ for anyone seeking to have a prosperous
future. The fact that it’s located in one of the main cities in the United
Kingdom, it provides an incredible variety of architectural inspiration,
creativity and innovation. Being one of the top universities in the League
Table, it has proven to be a very successful university which has a high
percentage of satisfied students and within six months after graduation, the
majority are able to build their careers. These figures and the fact that Sir
Norman Foster studied at MSA, have led me to believe that through MSA, I can be
someone successful in today’s highly competitive environment.
Despite
not having a lot of artistic experience, due to lack of resources in
Mozambique, I have grown to love architectural buildings, given my familiarity
with worldwide tourism, which has increased my knowledge in this specific
field. Becoming a student at MSA would certainly improve my designing abilities.
Recently
I have witnessed many great architectural pieces, such as the tallest twin
towers in the world, located in Kuala Lumpur. It was an incredible experience
to go up the tall skyscraper, and see the whole city from one angle. Through my
tour, I was fascinated on how architect Cesar Pelli came up with the idea to
build two exact same towers, next to one another.
Zaha
Hadid is undoubtedly my favourite architect, my role model. Her buildings
are breath-taking and unique, with each structure being completely different
from the other. Her building designs are just simply astonishing. She stands as
an inspiration to all women and through her designs, it increases my desire in
becoming a world known architect. The
Heydar Aliyev Centre in Azerbaijan designed by her is one of the buildings on
my bucket list which I would love to explore, observe and study every detail of
its unique structure and curved exterior.
Many
famous architects that have come and gone all had one thing in common; for them
to go around the various cities of the world, pointing out saying, ”I designed
that building”, and that is exactly what I want to do. Words cannot describe my
admiration and respect towards architecture. How these great architects come
with ideas and creativity is admirable. Having written this small but helpful
statement, I strongly hope that it was enough to show how passionate I am
towards architecture.
