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.
