Edmund Goodwin
Greetings, I'm Edmund Goodwin, and let me take you on a journey through my life filled with the marvels of structure, the charm of historical architecture, and the art of unicycling. But before we delve into my eccentric passions, let's step back to where it all began, the enchanting city of Edinburgh, Scotland.
Edinburgh, with its rich history and captivating architecture, served as the backdrop for my formative years. The city's cobblestone streets, ancient buildings, and picturesque landscapes ignited my fascination with structures, an enduring passion that eventually led me to my career as a Structural Engineer. My home was nestled among the elegant Georgian townhouses that define the city's landscape, and it was in this historical setting that I grew up, my hazel eyes often glistening with curiosity and youthful enthusiasm.
Early on, I discovered a peculiar talent that would become a cornerstone of my life—unicycling. The thrill of balancing on a single wheel, whether cruising through the sprawling parks or navigating the busy streets, captivated my spirit. Unicycling became more than a pastime; it became a way of life, and I've continued to relish the feeling of freedom it offers.
My passion for structure and stability was not limited to my professional life. The city's historic buildings and their intricate details were a constant source of wonder. I explored countless historical sites, sketching the ornate designs and trying to decipher the mysteries of their construction. My sketches have since grown into a cherished collection, each one capturing the essence of these architectural marvels.
However, life hasn't been all unicycles and architectural wonders. I've grappled with a rare autoimmune condition that demands my constant attention to diet and exercise. This daily test of resilience has taught me the importance of perseverance and maintaining a positive outlook, no matter the challenges.
Family is at the heart of my life. My wife, Linda, is a dedicated art historian who fuels my interest in architecture and design. We share a love for exploring art galleries, drawing inspiration from the creativity of artists from various eras. Our 10-year-old twins, embody the same passion for the arts, and our home has become an ever-evolving gallery, adorned with vibrant artwork and an eclectic assortment of unicycles.
In the moments between unicycling and exploring architecture, you'll find me indulging in my quirks. I'm a dedicated collector of vintage vinyl records, each one holding a piece of musical history. DIY projects offer a creative outlet, allowing me to tinker and experiment. I'm an avid traveler, exploring the world through exotic dishes I attempt to cook. My kitchen becomes a hub of international flavours, offering a taste of various cultures.
Life's challenges have only inspired me to explore new horizons, savour every moment with family, and find joy in the wheels that carry me through both my unicycling adventures and my quest to understand the art of architecture. The city of Edinburgh might be my starting point, but the world of wonders I've uncovered has no bounds.
