My initial plan was to spend a year in France, go to some kind of school and learn a bit of French. I went a year in an American college in the outskirts of Strasbourg, but got a glimpse of a real art school, L'Ecole des Arts Decoratifs, and enrolled the following year.
Character is power; it makes friends, draws patronage and support and opens the way to wealth, honor and happiness.

When you go to a normal architecture firm they aren't going to be innovative in terms of their systems.
