My study programme

 When I entered the university in March, I have never hoped that I would have online classes all the year. This has been a very different experience for all of us, and it has been difficult, especially for those of us in the first year.

We have had both semesters divided in two parts, theoretical and practical. That helped me to relieve the academic charge. I feel that I do not have a lot of homework and I like the subjects, nevertheless, the mental fatigue is a big problem. Really, I think that I could learn much more in another context.

How in the first year of architecture the work is analogous, in part it has been complicated, because all the time we must digitalize our sketch or take photos of our models and the teachers cannot see the real assignment. If someone has a question, there are a few opportunities for asking and many times we cannot share ideas between us, but the teachers make as possible for we can understand the concepts and materials, all this is more analytical, and we must work with more autonomy. Nonetheless, I feel that I have learned many things about arts, history, geometry, or photography. Definitely, the workshop subject is intense but very useful. For this reason, I hope that the presential modality return soon.

About the infrastructure of the Fau, I like the faculty building, but I have read that is not very modern and there are not many resources as in others universities, or even the Fen, but in this moment I cannot say much.

My opinion

 In my opinion, the politicians have been a problem since Chile was funded in the XIX century. In general, presidents, parliamentarians or mayors were part of a powerful elite. Along the history, they have defended the economic heritage above the needs of the people, and they have harmed the life of original towns, workers, minorities and so on.

I think that buy pets it is wrong; it could motivate that some races be steal, being obligated to have breedings and be victims of maltreatment. We need to rescue the dogs in the streets, they need a family that give them lot of love.

From my point of view, the marijuana must be legalized for motives of recreation and medicine, as long as the use is moderate, and its sale is regularized. Nowadays, the consume of this drug is very common in our country. Talking about other drugs, its legalizing depends on the effects and risks.

Unfortunately, the human being (especially the most powerful and wealthy people) has contaminated and destroyed forests, the air, the oceans, the flora, fauna, and ecosystems around the world. For that reason, we will see the serious consequences in the next years, abrupt changes in the global temperature, in the weather and the sea level. Now, we have to protest against the companies and the disinterested politics and change our habits and lifestyle to lessen the damage produced. At the present, the recycling is important, thanks for it it’s possible to avoid the generation of a lot of garbage.

My future job

 I honestly have not decided what kind of job I will have in the future, but I have many ideas: For example, I’m interested in the digital work with a lot of programs: Sketchup, Autocad, Revit and so on. I like the rendering so much, so I want to take some courses in the next years. Also, I would like to take a Postgrade course, it could be about a sustainable architecture or the urbanism, those are important aspects today. Also, Since I was a child, I liked to play videogames about decoration and interior design and go to a construction store and see the colors and furnishing and imagine modern spaces, I love it so much! I would like to travel to many countries like Japan, Spain, or Italy and learn about different architectural styles, live and work there for a while and know a diversity of perspectives and cultures. Moreover, I am interested in the design of public spaces, an important part of the city, and these are badly needed today in communs of Santiago, where there are neither green areas nor spaces of recreation. Really, I would love to make everything, but I must also be realist. I do not hope a big salary and all these things are very expensive, so I must be patient and be dedicated in my studies.
