Now a US citizen born and raised in Taiwan, I am a devoted student of architecture who has worked hard to prepare herself to enter your Master’s in Architecture Program at XXXX. Your program is my first choice because I see it as the finest of its kind in the world. I feel strongly that my broad ranging undergraduate studies at XXXX University in Design and Development, Supply Chain, Information Sciences and Technology, and Business as well as the Liberal Arts will enable me to hit the ground running and excel in your rigorous program at XXXX. In addition to your thoroughgoing and highly creative curriculum, I am attracted to the vast resources such as The XXXX Institute of Design and the BEST lab.
I am seeking the fullest immersion experience in architecture so that I can create solutions through creative and innovative designs. On top of mastering the skills required to excel at architecture, I want to focus my studies on architectural/building technology and how information technology (IT) and data can be combined to help make decisions to create more efficient structures that foster more sustainable ways of living. I have chosen Architecture as my career because I see it as the best vehicle for me to maximize my contribution to society, helping it to reach its fullest potential, both in terms of my local community and global society in general. I look forward to contributing to the diversity of XXXX as a Chinese woman devoted to the celebration of multiculturalism. Fluent in Spanish which I studied for several years in high school in Taiwan, I want to learn all that I can about best ways to go about creating sustainable societies in harmony with our environments-to achieve the highest quality of life possible, especially for generations to come. I look forward to learning from my peers from all over the world, especially Latin America, as well as my professors and guest speakers.
At the center of my intellectual and professional worlds stand my passion for technology and research, aggregating data on everything from natural resources to human behavior patterns in a never-ending search for better ways to make decisions and improve design for building structures. I look forward with keen anticipation to a lifetime of study and investigation into the best ways to maximize local resources, designing and putting into place the cleanest and most effective processes possible that result in sustainable structures in harmony with both their natural and human environments.
The company that I work for, XXXX, is currently collaborating extensively with the Golden State Warriors Arena in San Francisco to reinvent an immersive experience at the Chase Center. This multi-year project will engage the community through a program called “Fannovate” where fans get to contribute ideas on what will be considered as the Chase Center is being built. Serving at the forefront of this operation will help me to excel at XXXX and have important things to share both in and out of the classroom.
I seek full engagement throughout a long professional lifetime seeking out and facilitating novel commercial opportunities that promote innovation. In the design of an educational institution, I would seek to foster an optimal learning environment by fomenting collaboration. If designing a home for the elderly, I would create a space that is accessible and encourages the elderly to depend on themselves rather than their nurses, empowering the elderly to live in a dignified fashion. I would harness technology to track factors that contribute to creating/improving the functional purposes of the building and creating optimal experiences for the people using it. I fully intend to continue to make great strides at becoming a master of innovative software in architectural design and I seek the most rigorous formation possible with respect to the many ways that information technology can be harnessed to the cause of creating a more sustainable environment. I want to learn everything that I can, not only about architecture but also innovative developments in building technology and how to incorporate data (IT) into building technology to make accurate predictions on which to base creative designs.
After earning my master's at XXXX, I anticipate beginning my career at an architecture firm, learning the trade and gaining skill at attending to real-life needs in the architectural industry, working towards becoming a licensed architect. I hope to be selected to work in a firm that affords me the opportunity to engage in research concerning technological advance for our firm and the industry.
I have an extraordinarily strong background in IT and a profound passion for innovation, always looking for new ways to improve our current ways of doing something. In addition to distinguishing myself as a student and a professional, I have also worked hard to give something back to society as a volunteer, translating letters from Mandarin to English for World Vision for a full year. I volunteered at an animal shelter in college for one semester and I love playing piano. I auditioned to play piano in high school and was accepted to the jazz band. I have also studied IB music (like AP) for 2 years in high school. I learned a great deal about music theory, history, and how to compose music, and learned ballroom dancing and placed sixth in a small competition. I adore learning new languages and continue to improve my Spanish which I began learning in high school.
Thank you for your consideration of my application to the Master's in Architecture Program at XXXX.
