Changes to my study programme

Hi everyone! This week I`ll talk about architecture again, but this time instead being a blog about the profession or postgraduate studies it will be about something even closer, that is my experience studying it and some opinions that I have of the study programme.

As you know, architecture is a weird degree if you compare it with some other common degrees, because for example, you won`t need to read or write a lot, instead you should draw and make models commonly, and that’s something that takes a lot of time out of classroom, in fact, many times you should sacrifice theory classes to have enough time to do your workshop jobs, and that’s the first thing that I would change. We should spend less time in classrooms to balance all the time that we spend working out of it.

If we forget the last idea, I think that the subjects are fine. Each semester normally has a workshop, that is the main subject and for a lot of us the funniest (and the more stressful), a class related with structures (the worst for me), another of urbanism, and another about history. All of these in addition of the elective subjects.

I should say that I love FAU like a place to learn and study, but the infrastructure is such a shame, and I said it. There were a lot of things related to this that I would change if I can, for example I believe that we deserve a diner room free of pigeons, or buildings without leaks in rainy days, or it is too much to request? :(

    i totally agree with you, fau needs to work more in its infrastructure, I remember pigeons sitting on top of the lunch tables, that was very unhygienic!

    I agree with you Agustín, I think that there are pigeons eating inside the casino does not convey concern on the part of the university

My future job

 Hi everyone! In this second post I`ll write about what I expect to do in the future like an arquitect 😁 First of all, I want to say that I really really like the discipline of arquitecture, the way that it materialize an artistic intention like something functional and very needed by the people and cities, is just incredible.   I believe in architecture like a way of promote the culture and bring it to the people. That is definitely what I want to do like an architect because our actual society had the problem of place the access to culture like a privilege and not a common reality. Not everyone has the easiness of enjoy a museum, a library or an art gallery so we should find the way to make it possible.  Also I always want to teach in the future, because I see it like a possibility of make that more people could enjoy this so much as I do 😊 In addition, study this is so stressing when you have an empathyless teacher, and that is maybe one of the worst thing...

Postgraduate Studies

  Hi everyone! Today I`ll write about a topic that honestly is so hard to me just imagine it, I`m talking about postgraduate studies. As you know, now I`m studying architecture and I love it, but I had never thought if I want to keep studying after get the degree. Anyway, if I should choose, urbanism is the most interesting area for me.   Sincerely, I don`t know yet so much as I want of the subject, but they are some topics that always caught my attention like the transport, the importance and distribution of green areas across the city, or quality of public space, because are things that literally affect to all of us in our routine. Also, I think that all of these are so interesting topics   to analyze in Santiago that is where I lived all my life, because it is an unusually unequal city that really need to be fixed, and that is one of the reasons that cheer me up to study and know more this. As I said, I lived all my life in Santiago, and I think that a postgrad...
