The Royal Institute of British Architects asks-
''So why would a career in architecture attract you? Well if you're the kind of person who is curious about your surroundings, then you might just be interested in learning how to improve them. As an architect you would have the power and the responsibility to shape the environments in which people spend their daily lives. This makes architecture one of the most influential professions in today's society.

We are living in a rapidly changing world, and so we need people with the imagination to create the buildings and cities our society needs to keep pace with progress. If you are someone who is excited by change, then you could grasp the opportunity to build the future the way you want it.''
