@rafabarakat well, i'm not near Mr. Berkus, but i can assure you that if you're thinking about the future and profits of the career, then you're probably studying the wrong thing. Architecture (well i guess every discipline) is all about LOVE for what you do. It's kinda like the girl who treats you like shit sometimes but you still love her after all. I'm an architecture student myself and also have a hard time on school, but i keep on doing it not because i have to, because I love it.

[rafabarakat]

mr. berkus, have you always been 100% this is what you want to do? i'm finding architecture hard to study, but when it gets easier, if it gets easier, will i really have an enjoyable career?

@ArtinArt I disagree, these drawings are so much more powerful than 'realistic' and almost 'photographic' sketches. They depict the environments of the cities very well, through only a few simple lines.

I plan to become a car designer (which seems quite impossible for where i live), but i look up at architecture too. I can draw 3d very good I draw alot, and I'm creative when it comes to style and shapes. The only difference is that architecture use straight lines mostly and much more space and its not supposed to be aerodynamic. My question is: do I need to focus more on how the different rooms and spaces being created and how important is the outside look of a building?

@ArtinArt It's like stretching before playing a sport. It loosens up the hand.
