I started thinking about applying to MSA after my visit to Manchester last year. I fell in love with the city really quick and I found it to be really inspiring and free spirited.
I started doing some reasearch about the possibilities of architecture studies in Manchester and found MSA. The more I found information about the university, the more I wanted to become a student there. Manchester School of Architecture has the resources of two universities and it has one of the best architecture courses in the UK - it is a dream come true to any aspiring architecture student.
I truly believe that studying in Manchester and attending Manchester School of Architecture is the right path for me to go on my way of becoming a architect.

Recent building/exhibition that I visited.
I recently visited Stockholm and went to the Museum of Architecture [Arkitekuturmuseet]. The museum itself is not that big but they have a great permanent exhibition. It is a little overview with models about how architecture in Sweden has evolved over the centuries.
I really enjoyed the exhibition named "Provisions". It was a really intresting exhibition about how architecture and design are involved in everyday life and how everyday life can be shown trough design and architecture. I found the topic to be really interesting and I was pleased with the exhibition.

A building I would like to experience in person + sketch
The building I would like to visit is the Heidi Weber Museum [Centre Le Corbusier] designed by Le Corbusier.
I find the building to be really exciting - the big courful steel plates covering the concrete and the most interesting part: the "floating" roof. The water next to the building creates a lovely reflection and in my opinion a more harmonic and airy environment.
As I admire Le Corbusier very much, I would also love to visit the museum, which has a remarkable collection of Le Corbusiers art, design and writings.

The architect who has inspired me
There are many people whose work I admire and who I could call my favorite but choosing one seems rather impossible. Therefore I will talk about a architect who has inspired me the most.
Vilen Künnapu is a well-known Estonian architect. He is a very spiritual person and believes that every building gives out a somekind of energy that can be either bad or good.
The reason I chose him as my biggest inspiration is because of a building designed by him that made me sure of my decision to become an architect. I still remember the first time when I saw the building and the feeling I got then and it has never left me. The building itself is quite simple, the layout is rectangle shaped and there's almost nothing abstract about it. But somehow I could not look away - I wanted to go to that building. Studying architecture had been a option for me before that but after that I was sure of my choice. I want to give other people the same emotion I got. I want to design buildings that are inviting and ispiring and I want people to want to come there and enter.
I am not a spiritual person myself but his designs are truly amazing and I admire and respect Vilen Künnapu and his work a lot.
