In this episode we give some advice for writing an architecture personal statement that's really effective at showing the universities who you are and what makes your perspective on architecture unique, and important. We discuss the planning, writing, and editing processes in detail, and at the end Reuben reads out his personal statement in its entirety as an example (you can find Euans on the episode page on talkingvolumes.co.uk)

Writing Your Personal Statement: Applying Series 03

Talking Volumes is a podcast that seeks to understand how space impacts our lives, in both subtle and significant ways.

We wish to understand the political, historical, environmental, and social contexts that form around built spaces: how the physical elements of walls, floors, and ornament collide with the conversations, connections, and emotions that happen within them to create our experience of buildings and built forms.

We want to extend dialogue about architecture beyond the exclusive space of the Architect. We hope this will develop into a platform to connect with other thinkers and designers; and form new ideas about how spaces can be better used to face the social, environmental, and political challenges of the 21st Century, at both the macro and micro scales.
