TOP 5 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD DATE AN ARCHITECT.


Have you ever think of dating an architect or being loved by someone who is extremely passionate about architecture?

Have you ever imagined if your new friend or husband that is an architect will ever have quality relationship with you? Then this post is for you. I had been able to put together top 5 reasons why I think you can go ahead and date an architect or even marry one.


Here are my reasons;



When you embark on a new journey, you can be rest assured that you will have an interesting one.

Architects are known to be people that are conscious of their environments, they know when a cityscape is lacking an essential element, when the landscape is bad and when there is lack of symmetry in an array of buildings. When travelling with an architect, you can be sure that you will not get bored as he will constantly show you beautiful scenes you never thought existed in such city or town. When he sees an ugly environment, he will point to you what could have been added to make it look better. To an architect, a highway is a museum of buildings where he enjoy talking about architecture, history, arts, poetry and so on.

A vacation with an architect is like heaven on earth.

Since they are the ones that designs beautiful buildings, towns and cities, they know the best place to find the right center for vacation. He will take you to places that are inspired by nature creativity, places that have hidden beauty and untold elegance. He will show you things during vacation that you wouldn’t have thought of and those things will make you appreciate life. At the end of the vacation, before you asked, he would have collated beautiful pictures, sketches and inspired design to show you later.

You are covered on any art, craft or DIY projects that relates to architecture.

Are you someone that love to create do it yourself stuffs like family picture frames, mini furniture, decorative arts e.t.c?, if you are such person and you have an architect as a lover or friend, you can be sure you need not to worry about DIY stuffs because he will help you with many ideas on them because architects love to create beautiful things for themselves, their loved ones and people in need of it. He has design tools with him always to make any DIY project come alive.

By default, you have other interesting friends though they may be architects too.

It is a common thing that architects are always found in architects company. They are fond of attracting architecture friends and other great and interesting people easily. Though conversation with an architect may be too brainstorming than being fun but you can be sure you will never get bored and at the end of the conversation, you might have garnered little knowledge about how buildings work which can help you in building maintenance.

Architect spend more time doing stuffs but still remain great lovers.

An architect rarely have excess time to spend outside his or her work but little time spent with people most especially loved ones are always cherished moments. They will amuse you with jokes, tell you boring stories in a creative way and you will end up laughing. They are people you can understand easily, they can settle any emotional dispute creatively and make environment lively. The same passion they put into their work is also applicable to treating people around them. You will surely feel loved by someone who is not just passionate about works but also passionate about people around them.
