LIECHTENSTEIN UNIVERSITY
School of Architecture
Admissions office
With this letter, I hereby wish to state my interest and apply for a Master’s degree program in
Architecture. I always had an interest and passion for Architecture, and therefore it is not surprising that
I have finished my Bachelor studies in Architecture with 73% marks. I have developed this strong
passion for Architecture thanks to my father who is also an architect.
Furthermore, as I had an interest and talent for arts, my father guided me toward this field and I started
to make models at the age of 9. Now I have an impressive collection of model houses and buildings. I
have continued with this craft even during my bachelor studies and some of my works were awarded on
the national competitions. The study of fundamental architectural courses, such as architectural
structure, mechanics and materials science, made me realize that architecture does not focus only on a
visual, but also emphasizes on the more essential functional and practical aspects of an object. Thanks
to the new skills and knowledge gained at the university I realized that architecture is not only an art but
technology.
The rise of climate change has a widespread effect worldwide and India is no different. I truly believe
that my country needs to upgrade its current landscape infrastructure. Modern building designs need to
be more environment-friendly. We require a changed mindset and our designs need to integrate a lot of
natural options available. New infrastructure needs to be environmentally friendly and use minimal
energy.
Studies have provided me a deeper comprehension of science and its cultural influences. The
joint influence of my artistic skills and knowledge helped me to visualize the spaces in their
totality, although, at first these spaces were confined to sharp rectangular spaces which were
later extruded to their third dimension with lessons from my Basic and Architectural Design
classes. These spaces were more often clustered into a larger space to give a magnified
appearance. My emphasis remained on the built-form that represented the theme of the subject
and the required spaces were closely knitted into this form. Since then my professional motto is
“unless you put a function to your creation – it’s not architecture, it’s just visual art”.
Your University can rightly provide me those. I hope that I will be given an opportunity to not
only study at your University but also to become fully absorbed in your planning community. I
am applying after carefully reviewing the course curriculum. Since the research focus and
facilities available in your department complement my research interests and requirements. I
believe that being a student in your department would not only empower my career
development but would give me the framework my utilize my full potentials. Moreover, I feel that
as a Master’s student at your University, I can benefit from the numerous challenging career
opportunities.
