Interview with Darren Aspinall, architect. Age 26. Comes from Wigan, Greater Manchester.

What does your job involve?
Why does it take such a long time to train as an architect?
Did you always want to be an architect?
Where do you see yourself five years from now?
What about the financial rewards?
Which aspects of your work do you like the most?
What about the not so good bits?
The long section in the middle, between the initial design and the construction when technical details are produced, can become tedious, particularly on a very large scheme. However, it is an essential part of the building process - a building couldn't be built without masses of technical information.
Any advice?
And do you look forward to work every day?
