      I think if I was an Architect I’d like to design really big and complex buildings like what you’d see in New York. Some of the building there are amazing with incredible designs that make you wonder how they can stay standing.

      Another thing that I find interesting is how you can design houses and buildings to prevent them from collapsing during an earthquake. This is a really important thing to do in places where earthquakes are common and would be something I’d love to get involved in.

      What type of buildings would you build?

      I would build affordable, safe houses that were self sufficient. Imagine a house that you buy and it can heat itself, harvest it’s own water and supply it’s own electricity!

      Better for the environment and the money you save on bills can go into fun things like holidays. Plus it would mean a lot of people would have a safe place to call home that wouldn’t otherwise.
