No, but I really want to. I think it'll have to be a trip I make by myself one day when i'm older! I love the look of the countryside over there with all the colourful plants and trees and the buildings with the giant curved triangular roofs. I will make it there one day!!

I really like these ideas of having ladders leading up to mini hiding places as well. I'd love to be an architect, if only I could draw... there's something about houses which really really interests me.

..you don't really need to have great drawing skills Richard, it's more about detail and measurements but the drawing skills you need you would learn at uni anyway ..if it's something you're really interested in and would like to do then don't think that you wouldn't be able to..maybe have a look at what you would need to study it..?....

I've searched through all the uni's websites that offer it but they all want an A in A level art and/or a portfolio of art from you. I don't think my stick men and little square houses would impress them very much.

..is it something that you would really like to do Richard..?..I'll google some stuff and see if there's any other way you can do it, there's sometimes other ways to achieve these things...maybe you could do it through college..?...I'll see what information I can find, ok...

I'm sure you'd be able to find something. I'm doing Graphic Design and although A Levels were desirable they weren't essential.

We needed a small portfolio of work to show the tutors but other than that they were very open to all ages and backgrounds if you could show them you had a passion for it.

I've always had two ideal dream jobs: an architect or a meteorologist. I've looked at the requirements for both though and don't see how it would be possible for me to do either, because my worst subjects are the requirements for both. Thanks for googling though

...yeah my son did landscape architecture and although he did art, it wasn't one of his strongest subjects because it's more about detail and scale, isn't it..the designing/drawing is all part of the course anyway..I was always fascinated to watch him do a design, these things always seem so effortless to people who know how to do them but I guess that's the way with everything...do you enjoy Graphic Design..?..
