A question I have asked myself recently is do you have go the whole way with the 7 years of Architecture to make it successful? Some famous architects know that this is not the case for example, Le Corbusier, Mies Van de Rohe and Frank Lloyd Wright all did not graduate from a School or University of Architecture.
Brad Pitt is a better example of this because he is an actor that has taken to architecture, he studied it but never graduated. He managed to become friends with Frank Gehry through him designing a wine store in his $14 million home. This makes an extra question of its not what, but who you know to allow you to become successful. Brad Pitt has worked on a 5 star resort in Dubai and also the example below of a leisure complex in East Sussex, England. Both of these created through working in collaboration with Frank Gehry's Los Angeles practise.

Brad Pitt is quoted to say that 'whilst acting is my career, architecture is my passion'. From this it can be said that it is possible to do whatever you would like with an intense desire to succeed.
