Talking about what changes could be made to my program of study sounds quite interesting. The building of the faculty of architecture and urbanism is quite old, a lot of history, so it is understandable that the changes are minimal compared to the other faculties. But, there are facilities that I sincerely find to be a pity the little commitment to innovation and technology for the overall infrastructure. In addition, it is not normal that every winter, with high rainfall, the classrooms are dripping, especially the Titanic building. I recently found out that they have improved many important details that for years they did not pay attention to.  I just remembered the casino, the famous pigeon casino, for me a nest of pigeons. I find eating at the same table where there are pigeons amusing but dangerous for your health. Clearly this has to be changed, as it has been a problem for years. Regarding the current curriculum offered by the architecture program, it has improved a lot duri...

It would really be amazing to travel to the future and know a lot of things that will happen, but at the same time it is scary to meet something terrible. But if it is possible I would really like to know the destiny of my place where I live, Chile. Since these last 2 years many things have happened that will change the future of Chile, but there is too much uncertainty of what will happen in the future with Chile. So I would make a time travel to 2030, where I should see a political, social and economic stability in Chile. I would like to see a plurinational country, where all the cultures that make up the country are respected and learned from, and where politics is not just opportunism and populism. It has been really sad and humiliating all that thousands of people have had to go through for several years because of the fault of a few. Traveling to 2030 would help a lot to prevent many bad things that harm the future of the next generations that will live in this country. Pero ...

In the future I would like to work designing greenhouses for flowers and vegetables. I imagine it as a very interesting and nice job, since working with flora is always a nice thing to do. I would like to design greenhouses with different construction materials, for example: steel, carbon fiber, wood, etc.If possible, to be able to design for different countries and to be able to know many places by the work. I hope to be able to achieve designs that clients like and at the same time receive an amount of money that will help me to live comfortably and without economic worries. But always grateful for every salary I will receive. Being able to study architecture, and at the same time learn how to grow flowers and vegetables, I know it will help me to be able to design my first greenhouse commissioned by a client. In the future it is said that there will be a great drought and good quality vegetables are becoming less and less frequent or are of high prices. In this regard, I would like ...

 Hello, today I want to write about the profession I want to pursue after college. Architecture, which has many positive and negative aspects. The positive is that it is a profession that is closely related to other areas and professions, such as art, mathematics, urban planning, technology, heritage, and others. In addition, the work environment is very pleasant and entertaining, you can share with many people to talk about architecture. And my favorite thing about architecture is that you learn a lot about many cities in different countries.  The negative aspects of architecture is that it is difficult to learn everything that is required of you in the profession, it is very tiring and sometimes stressful. In the work environment there is a lot of competition. I really believe there are few negative aspects to architecture.  I chose this profession because when I was a child I liked to draw buildings and cities, but my drawings were not really that nice. I also lik...

Hello everyone, today I would like to write about my favorite season of the year which is Spring. It is my favorite because the weather is so nice. You can go out in the street with a short shirt but with a vest in your hand, sometimes it rains in the spring. I really like the air that you can breathe in that time of the year.  There are some things I don't like about spring, for example that it is very cold when I wake up. It's hard for me to get out of bed because of the cold, but in the afternoon it gets warmer. The days are better for walking around the city.   Compared to spring, I don't like winter because I don't like the cold, and I don't like to be warm every day. I don't like summer either because the temperatures are too high.I hope that this Spring will be very good and we can go out a lot with family and friends. That's one of the things I like the most about this season, going out with friends no matter the weather or being too warm with clothe...

 I have the best holiday when I traveled by car to Chiloé with all my family. This trip to Chiloé was many years ago when I was 15 years old. I remember it very well because it was our first trip away from Santiago with my whole family. It was a trip of many hours by car.  We spent 1 week on the island of Chiloé camping in camping areas. From the island we were able to get to know the unique culture of the area, its gastronomy, its friendly people, the unique views and its history. I remember when they taught us about the mythology of Chiloé, such as: El Trauco, La Fiura, El Caleuche, etc.  I don't know if they were my best holidays, but they were the ones I remember most fondly. I hope someday to return to the island of Chiloé and to be able to visit all the churches on the island. The architecture of the island is incredible for its wooden designs.  Thanks for visiting my blog.
