Summary
For as long as I can remember Art was a passion of mine. I have always viewed Architecture as the ultimate form of Art, Discipline, and Patience. Now, after practicing for 10 years I can confirm Architecture is indeed the ultimate form of Art & Discipline, but perhaps double the patience. One of my favorite inspirational quotes is, "There are three forms of visual art: Painting is art to look at, sculpture is art you can walk around, and Architecture is Art you can walk through." (Dan Rice)
