(a person who designs buildings). he lived in this house when he was young. do you think this house beautiful or not beautiful? (not beautiful) can you use another word to replace “not beautiful”. (ugly). so when he became an architect, he designed some pretty houses. not long ago he designed a new house for me. let’s go and see my new house.
