Thank you for sharing your personal revelation. It’s our realization that we must take the road less traveled that eventually leads us to consistency, confidence and peace in who we are.

Very insightful post.

I am a recovering shape-shifter. I did it at school, with my relatives, certain groups of peers and at work. Who I truly was became unclear.

Then, my Wife became the constant in my life and snapped me out of it.

Good observation, Brandon. I’d also like to see a business class or two thrown into the engineering school mix. Sometimes the architects and the engineers get caught up in the technical / aesthetic aspects of their solutions and lose the client’s perspective. Clients will focus on successful end usage of the space, including revenue generated from the completed space for example. Sp having a business perspective is nice cross-training as well.

I wish engineering school had some related industry classes thrown in to understand how much form and how much function there should be. I am considering taking architecture classes for this very reason. It’s sometimes hard to see what an architect intends on his plans. And of course making the engineering work, to the architect’s and client’s vision is the whole point of our jobs.

On a smaller scale this idea of function/form can definitely clash in a workplace environment.
