Fascinated by how buildings are constructed like complex three-dimensional jigsaw puzzles, Greg Walton has wanted to be an architect for as long as he can remember.   When he was six years old, he told his parents he wanted to be an architect and attend Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) in the USA.
