About Me

robertstroup: I love structures, really. And since I was ten, my goal in life was to become a licensed architect and engineer. I was very artistic from a young age, and my father was an engineer. So my first jobs were working for a mechanical engineer at a radioactive power plant. Shortly after graduating high school, I attended the University of Oregon's Lawrence School of Architecture. I earned a Bachelor's of Architecture in 2007 while there and then moved straight to Seattle, where I worked for two and half years as an intern architect. In 2010 I went back to school to pursue the other dream - to become a structural engineer. After taking multiple exams in LEED, the ARE and the FE, I've compiled this blog to document as best I can the life I've chosen to lead.
