The first spark igniting my interest in Architecture was that visit to Suzhou Museum in 2006.
Deeply impressed by the charm art of such architecture, I chose Architecture as my major
two years later and was admitted by Suzhou University of Science and Technology, then
continued my graduate study in Washington University in St. Louis after receiving Bachelor
degree of Architecture.
During my study, I ceaselessly absorbed professional knowledge like a sponge to fulfill my
thirst for architecture and won Extraordinary Academic Scholarship (top 2% students) in
university. I also did investigation and hand drawing on famous architecture in my spare
time. As a participator of architectural design competition and an intern architect in three
architectural design firms, I not only practiced myself beyond class, but also developed my
leadership and communication skill in working environment. I have studied drawing since I
was a child and have excellent hand-drawing skills. I have strong digital-design skills as well.
I can use AutoCAD, Revit, Sketchup, Rhino, Grasshopper, 3Dmax, Photoshop, Illustrator
and Indesign proficiently. These skills are recognized by my professors and supervisors;
many of my academic works are highly evaluated and kept by university; and I also joined
social work and different student organizations in university after class.
My career objectives become increasingly apparent during all these years of learning and
practicing in architecture. I envision myself to be a junior architect after I get my master
degree. I want to be engaged in challenging architecture projects, keep absorbing advanced
design philosophy, and better develop my coordination and communication skills.
Meanwhile, I would do my best to get architect license which also paves me to reach my
long-term goal of becoming a senior architect eventually.
Working in your firm as a junior architect can solidify my foundations and craft me into a
qualified architect with the knowledge in a variety of areas. I am also looking forwards to
interacting with your talented staff and architects, to learning from them and exchanging
ideas with them.
I would regard my admission to your firm not only as a great honor but also as a great
responsibility and an obligation to work harder to achieve my dream of being a successful
architect. Thank you very much!
