I am the daughter of an architect. Growing up, my father would point out the world around us: every staircase, archway, tile and sculpture. He taught me that the size of windows and their location on the façade gave a house its face; that the thickness of the walls made it feel reliable or flimsy; and its color could alter or calm the people who lived there. From him, I learnt that the design of buildings and public spaces shapes our imagination and the quality of our lives.
Today I can't help but observe and appreciate the beauty of my surroundings. Perhaps it was his clever plan, because now that my dad is gone, I feel he can still see the world through my eyes.
