• Question: If it didn't take as many years in University to become an architect, do you think you would still be an engineer or be an architect?

      Great question! And the answer is I don’t know…..

      I have come on an amazing journey to get where I am today and I don’t think I’d change any of it. Who knows maybe I still will become an architect one day, like Roland Levinsky – he was an amazing doctor who worked at the Great Ormond Street Hospital for kids, and decided one day that he would quiet like to become an architect and ended up designing the new buildings at Plymouth University. Sadly he died in 2007 when he got electrocuted by a power cable that had been blown over in a storm when he was out walking his dog on Wembury beach. Sad story but an amazing man!
