I interviewed a person names Anwar Shah who is my dad’s friend. He lives in America and lives close to New York. He is an architect which fits nicely with my Capstone topic. I interviewed him because I thought that he could really help with some more information to help me learn more about my topic. If I had more information, then I would be able to have a longer presentation. When the class and I were told that we should find an interview, I was worried at first because I didn’t think I would find anyone that could help me. 

Then, I was worried that no one would want to do the interview if I even found someone. This shows how I was worried about my interview which was very important to this project. I secured the interview with the help of my dad because he had a friend that was an architect and let me interview him for my project. He called him to see how he was doing and then asked him and he said yes. I was so relieved that I didn’t have to find an interview. These are the questions I asked: 

1. Have materials changed a lot since you first began in architecture?
2. What are some important materials people use now?
3. Do you know some key design changes?
4. What are some popular design styles now?
5. What would be the most important style now?
6. Do you know some big differences in houses before and now?
7. What would be the strongest material for houses?
8. What would be the least popular design style today?
9. What is the design process for building a home?
10. Why do materials change over time?

The most interesting thing I learned after the interview would be how much people rely on technology. When people want technology in their homes, then it takes more time to  and that people really want the houses to be modern rather than a colonial style. 

I faced a few challenges which were: coming up with a topic, finding an interview because since I found one late. The last challenge was coming up with questions because I only had a short amount of time to come up with them.
