My family members are fully immersed in engineering, design, and architecture and, by my mid-teens, I had joined the family club. I spent all my spare time reading about art and architecture and, after much arduous study, qualified for entry to study at the Tehran College of Art and Architecture at the age of eighteen.
I was awarded my undergraduate degree in industrial design at ____ University, in May 2013. My father is a graduate of ____ and was one of the first students to earn a Ph.D. in Earthquake Engineering. I wanted to experience the academic environment that my father had loved so much. Unfortunately, my family was unable to afford to fund this ambition until 2009 when I was finally able to begin my studies in Virginia.

I am fascinated by architecture because of the melding of science and art towards creating something that has utility and beauty, impacts on the environment of many people and that will stand for generations. The responsibilities of an architect are quite breath-taking combining so many disparate skills and taking account of the needs and views of so many with direct and indirect interests in a project. I am also extremely excited at the developments in building design and materials that will eventually provide us with buildings that produce energy rather than consume it. I hope to be a part of the solution to energy use reduction through architecture. I have been fortunate in being exposed to architectural styles in Iran and the US. I am also part of the school’s ‘study abroad program’ based in Switzerland and have seen the best in European architecture during my visits. I am very much looking forward to a further study trip to Europe in the spring semester of 2012.

I love the academic environment at ____ University and very much want to undertake my higher studies in this positive, supportive, and challenging milieu. Thus, I am applying in this, my fourth year of bachelor's degree studies, to undertake a combined BA and MA program in my fifth year and complete the MA program in my sixth year of study.
I also know that I have the necessary passion to become a successful and effective architect. I hope to be involved in research relating to urban architecture during the program. I am also aware that those fortunate enough to have well rewarded careers that they love should donate some of their time and skill to assist charities and non-profit bodies to achieve their goals and I intend to do so.
