Welcome to William Ross Architecture!

I'm William Ross, and I'm an Architecture student because I care about Architecture. Architecture matters because it effects every aspect of our lives at home and around the globe. So what makes good Architecture?

Join me on my quest to answer that question and others as I explore inspiring buildings and develop my own designs. I want to hear from you! If you care about Architecture too, reach out - I look forward to collaborating. Together we can build a better world for everyone.
