Being an architect is my dream.

I think it started when I was in elementary school. I’ve studied interior design since I was in fifth grade. When I started senior high life, my interest in architecture became so strong that I determined to be an architect. And now, I’m going to tell all of you about my hero.

My hero’s name is Ito Toyoo, a Japanese architect. Mr. Ito always uses special line to design the architectures. Just recently, Taipei Art Museum is displaying posters of Mr. Ito’s art works. I went to the museum to let me know deeply about Mr. Ito the other day.

This display was called “derivational method”. My mom went to see the display with me. We appreciated the poster very carefully because we didn’t want to miss anything. The first thing that impressed me is a gallery in England, which is called “蛇形藝廊” in Chinese. Every summer, the gallery is removed. Another architect would design another style of the gallery, but the designer couldn’t get any price in England. Mr. Ito got this case in 2002. He designed a special box-shaped building. Even though the gallery looks like a box, it was made by many black and transparent triangles. It’s a special gallery.

Second, I want to talk about a building in Shibuya-ku. It is a building of” TOD’S,” a famous brand of bag and shoes (I think girls know deeply). Ito wanted the building to be able to merged with the nature. He designs the outside just like the trees climbing on the building. It’s so attractive on the street, not only during the daytime, but also at night. When the night comes, the building looks exactly like a tree on street. I was very surprised when I first saw it.

The third thing I want to talk about is a jewelry building in Genzo. The special thing in this building is it’s pink and it just like a pearl on the building! The wall was painted four times to make it look like a pearl. Ito didn’t design any traditional windows on the building, he used his creativity to make the window merged with the wall and become part of it.

I’m very happy that Taipei Art Museum can display Ito’s pieces, and I spent all the morning to “talk to Ito”`. What a wonderful experience! When I came home, I just could not stop thinking about the architectures, so I made two model of the 蛇形藝廊 and the TOD’S.

 I have another hero which is closer to me. She is my mom, Teresa.

My mom is a common house worker, but for me, no one can displace her. When I am sad, she always cheers me up and tells story to let me fell “there was someone who had a more difficult situation than you .” If I am distress, she will take me to any where to let me fell more comfortable. She does not care she had a meeting with her friends, she will cancel the meeting and accompany with me.

 Since I was in senior high school, mom started to tell me some of her care, and I gave her some comment just like she gave me. I feel our heart is closer when we are telling each our own cares.

 When she need me, I want to stay with her whenever I can. Although my mom is a very common woman, no one can display her in my heart. Mother’s day is coming, let me tell her one sentence, “Mom, I love you.”
