Hi everyone, My name is Aysoltan, I’m 23 and I’m from Central Asia, Turkmenistan. I came here when I was 18 with the dream of becoming an architect because I love sketching and drawing. Whenever I see a beautiful work of art, especially buildings I get very excited and start thinking about every detail.

Hello everyone, my names Alex. Born and raised in Queens. Got into architecture after being a CAD drafter for an electrical company for a bit less than a year. I eventually decided I should get a degree in something pertaining to this type of field since I enjoyed it and wanted to make it into a career. This is my second semester(last semester being my first). I previously had around 80 credits into computer engineering but I decided taking this path would make me happier.

Hey, my name is Arsalan. I was born and raised in Brooklyn but moved to Long Island with my Pakistani-born parents. I was interested in Architect when I was learning other different cultures including my culture and ancestors I saw many beautiful mosques, palaces, and buildings from Mughal, Islamic, Turkish, and Persian architecture as well as Renaissance, Gothic, Baroque, and Medieval from England, Spain, Italy, and France. Even Indian, Japanese, and Chinese architecture is interesting. These different cultures made me very interested in Architect and I’m a talented artist. One horrible event in Peshawar, Pakistan in 2016 where innocent men, women, and children were perish from their life stolen by the bad people. This made me sad to see how dark the world is becoming especially to my country which I have a lot pride as Pakistani. This made me wanting to become a Humanitarian Architect which I love to drawing as well as seeing beautiful building that I could create with my name and even help people who are poor and unfortunate such as the desires of homes, hospitals, schools, and many more. My goal is to get architect license and stay in NY for experience than help my country first and help other poor countries in the future. I hope I reach my goal and have my name recognized in the future even inspire more people to do good deeds and making my country proud.
My hobbies is studying, learning history, countries, cultures, religion, and science, drawing, playing guitar, video games, watching animes, sports (cricket, football (soccer), field hockey, baseball, and basketball. I’m trying to make comic for Webtoons and Tapas. The title will is Once Upon a Time in Karachi and still in process.
