Architecture - Admission/Application Essay Example

That is why houses do not look like buildings and offices do not look like houses. The warmth you feel when you look at a house is not there when you look at a shopping mall or the office building. Studying architecture in the UK has been my dream and that is why I came here. The buildings in London have heritage and looking at them you can feel their history and it's life. I have graduated from University of Greenwich with a second-class degree. After that I worked with a small architecture firm in London.

Working with this firm helped me gain experience which I might not have gained working with a bigger firm. They taught me how to apply all the concepts that I learned in the university.

I would appreciate if you could give me an opportunity to help me continue with my passion and take it to the next level.
