English at university

Well, today I will talk about my experience learning English at the university. I remember took English lll last year and I don't have good memories about that, was an insane first semester in this career and I hadn't the time and energy to take it. I hadn't expected to take this course during my fourth semester but I feel better with myself because I need to learn other things, other areas not related to architecture. I don't know if my pronunciation changed with the time but now I remember a lot of things, phrases, and words that make me sense when I read a book, talking with a stranger, watching series, listening music or anything. With the blogs, I 've noticed faster writing, at the beginning of the semester I wrote extremely low my ideas and maybe I didn't write so well. I think an aspect to improve on my English experience is talking with others, I understand completely what you want to say me but I can't say all that I have in my mind on a convers...

Changes to my Study Programme

Well, I will describe completely the experience of my actual career Architecture on FAU. Mostly the subject that all of us dedicate more time is Workshop, an overrated subject, that stress you everywhere and every time, your life change with this subject completely negative an positively, you will lose a lot of time with your near people and with all in general but through the time you will know new people who are in your same situation and share a lot of experiences together, all of this sound masochistic but is real, at the same time with all the knowledge, you will understand why the city and the world is like this. Something that differences an Architecture maybe with other career is the multidisciplinary an open that it is and can sound contradictory but I think that we should decide what line or what we would like to do in future, choose an option an be free with our decision for example at the end of this career, not all the architects will design/build a space o...

Human rights in Chile

Today I will talk about the migrant caravan and human rights in South America. For me is extremely deep and sad the situation that we are living in the actuality, the different countries collapse politically and economically and how the people migrate of them and they are treaties like slaves by residents. Something that I never understand is that way of beneficiate with the effort and precariousness of the people, the evil intention and lack of empathy of society. One of the times that struck me the most was a news: in a two-story house in Bellavista with a poor electric system were living 200 people (strangers) in a very bad situation. Living in overcrowding, all of them should share the possibility of suffering a fire. When I read the article I felt very disappointed, who receives the money every month of an immigrant in a very bad situation have feelings? Well, When these things will stop happening? I hope soon ... https://www.latercera.com/nacional/noticia/pro...

If I could be someone else for a day, who would it be?

When I read the title of the new post I begin to think who would it be? Was extremely difficult for me to choose a character or a person. For many people, to be someone else, this person should be an exemplary person or a hero in other words. I never have in my mind the idea of be someone else or be similar to someone. It may sound some egocentric, but all the time I want to be the best version of me or be authentic, for this I try to think about the actions that I realized during the day after to go to the bed or maybe when I stay up all night, sometimes this slow my work and the next day I regret doing this type of things, but I try to be a contribution to the world. Now that I think about it, a few weeks ago, I saw an anime called ''One Punch Man'', the principal character Saitama is an ordinary person (really an ordinary person, very modest), who has the power of winning a battle with One Punch, and with the time the city where he lives is attacked for differents ...

Postgraduate studies

I don't think I would do a postgraduate degree in Architecture for now but many many times I had the idea of studying another career like Photography or History after finished Architecture, with the time I have a self-imposed learn about different disciplines and I want/need to amplify my knowledge in something that I have always liked. Maybe you will say, both are extremely different but I think both have something very valuable in common, changes the way to see the world, reality or details that you never think/see when you walking down the streets. History or photography aren’t careers that separate me of Architecture, both open the gates of knowledge that I had wait for a long time. I don’t expect to have more money or be rich for study them, only be a person open-minded or more sensible, that is very important to me because I think with the time and the system that actually we live the people only care about what happens with themselves and not what happens around...

Today I will talk about Santiago, the buildings and transport of this city mainly. For me a city works like a body, if a part of it doesn’t works all the body collapse and maybe this happend in our city. Santiago it is an extremely segragated city, and all of us know that, I hope as an architect to be able to change this situation in the future and something that I always have in my mind is the importance of put yourself in the place of the other person and not act individually, as it currently happens (the clearest example,  Costanera Center) Somethings that I hate of our city is the few green areas and bad distribuition of it, the low incentive to preserve the heritage and our history. To be continue... I´m not done yet
IG platform My favorite social media platform is Instagram. I don’t usually share photos of my personal life.  Most of the time, I share pics of specific spaces that are related to architecture and art or simply something that makes me feel different at the moment. I just follow people that I know: photographers, architects and artists that make me enjoy the way to see life or things. Maybe I don’t share pics of my personal life or share regularly a story on Instagram cause all the time I have in my mind the idea of the different social media can use the information, what we liked and what we shared to control the multitude, for example I think it is extremely weird or suspicious that I liked a photo and in the same moment appear publicity related to photography. Could be a contradiction that still using Instagram but it offers me diversity of topics in the same platform.
