Ma Yansong (pictured), 35, did not always want to be an architect. His passions included painting and film.
He even applied to art school but didn't get in. He was told his fine art skills were poor and that he should look at architecture.
He did worse at the Beijing Film Academy. The judges were clear - he should stick to architecture.
