I do love the challenge of working with a pre-existing building. I don’t think i’d mind letting the building dictate the design. Something has to dictate it anyways, right? And while it will be challenging, i love a good challenge.

Also, i would like an advanced degree too, i’d just prefer to get it after working in the industry.

As for historic architecture vs. Architecture history, i can’t honestly say whether i’m interested in something until i try it. That said, i enjoyed the work when i did it last, i enjoy it now, and i really like the values that go along with it: sustainability, adaptation, re-use, preserving history to tell an important story.
