POST 11: " Architecture"

Imagen
 Hello there, today´s blog is going to be about why I´m studying architecture major.  For me, architecture is one of the most beautiful art on art´s history, it have multiple areas to work, I'm so interested in social housing and sustainable buildings and I think and hope i'll work on it, I like the idea of helping people who need it, and the way that I can do it is doing architecture for these people.  I see architecture as a "tool" which I can support with my grain sand to the community and I think architecture must be focused in serving people, specially for these who can't pay for a good and expensive building, because unfortunately this is a business and it don't work without money. Nothing is better than see people enjoying a good architecture building. I think a excellent referent of what road I want to choose is Alejandro Aravena, a Chilean architect who is highlighted because of his development on social housing, who won the Pritzker price some years ...

POST 10: "Education"

Hello! I hope you're having a good day. Today I will write about the relevance of a teacher/educator when studying a subject.  The way in which an educator can influence the perception of students about a topic is fundamental, since it will depend on how they teach their subject on how their students will receive it. A teacher can change the perception of a student regarding the subject he teaches, and how? they will wonder; teaching it in innovative ways, with energy and passion, loving his work. And I can say this because specifically it is me who this happened to. I have never been a follower of history in general, much less of books or literature, my forte was always mathematics and numbers. Currently I have a teacher, who has changed something in me, her way of teaching and telling us the story is incredible, awakening in me an investigative part that I did not know, makes me want to learn more and more and I find extra motivation in each class. I consider it essential t...

POST 9 : "Religion"

 Hello everyone, today I´m going to tell you about my experience with catholic religion. I come from a Catholic family, and I remember that when I was a child, I went to church every Sunday with my grandmother. I was also in a Catholic institute for several years, but I have never felt represented by this religion. I think that all the text of the bible is a simple story, but there is a very big detail that I have always rescued, I think that the bible is a lie, a fictional story, but it is the most beautiful lie that we have been told in history. history of mankind. Because it tells us that there is someone or something up there, to whom we can trust ours, who will always be there when you need him, and who will love you no matter what happens and whatever you do. I am not a believer, but I do respect and let people live in peace with their beautiful lie of love. In addition, it is a fact that many people change when they supposedly give their body and soul to this almighty God...

POST 8 : "Healthcare system"

   Hello everyone, in this blog I'm going to write about the unfair health system in Chile. I give myself the right of say it because I live with an uncle who works in Indisa's Clinic.  Every time that a member of my family needs treatments or medical consults, my uncle calls his contacts and like art magic they are attended, this is favorable for us, and we don't think two times before say yes and get medical answer to our diseases but what about the people that wait a lot of time for be attended. Our "privileged situation" works by the hand of huge unfair.  Similarly, people with good economic situation have more accessibility to high quality health services, because they could pay for it and if you don’t have enough money, you must get patient for waiting for public health service, which highlights because of its eternal waiting lists.  It is outrageous, always depends on different kind of factors, you need somebody that could help you at the cost of disrespe...

POST 7: "Politics"

Is democratic an obligatory voting system?  I think voting shouldn't be obligatory. First, not everyone is capable of voting, and I mean that we must have a feeling with politics and have conscience of what repercussions will have our vote. And nowadays that isn't too present in our society, great part of the people just votes because it is obligatory and don't care about their participation in this kind of process. That is antidemocratic, we have let the people decide if they want to vote or not, it is better that people that don´t want to vote, simply don´t do it. we shouldn't be obligated to do anything.  In addition, the political factions don´t care about giving adequate and sufficient information for us to vote consciously  and well informed. How many people didn't know the new constitution document that was proposed for changing the current one? However, they were forced to vote and choose something blindly. Voting wouldn't be obligatory, people who don...

POST 6: "Choose of two topics" (Topic A)

ArchDaily is an architecture website which shows a large kind of projects around the world. It has a lot of categories where we can find some interesting things, like architecture competitions, publications, events, interviews with actual exponents of it and a lot of articles so interesting to read.  I visit it every day in my free time, I maintain opened my account on my computer, and it is so easy to get into it when I am using it. I like this website because in there i found a lot of ideas of "green architecture" which i s a topic calls my attention, also I liked because day by day the platform is uploading new information with new articles to read and that is so good I think, because every day I can found something new that could makes me interested about it. I would recommend it to all public, because the website isn't too hard to use, is something so predecible, and everyone interacts with architecture everydays, so isn't something too aways of us, everyone can ...

POST 5: "How can your major make the world a better place"

I think Architecture affects the humanity more than the world, in the way that everyone lives their life, I mean in the spacial experience which each person will have for example, when their walk to their jobs, when ourselves go to buy something at the supermarket, affect in the distribution and organization of cities, can make the world looks like a good place, because the real fact that makes the world better are the own people, not any major, not an iconic person, not if Chile goes to the world´s cup football championship.   To be honest, I see myself helping other people. I dream of working or collaborating with a non-profit foundation, like TECHO Chile. For example, I think that could be the best way to apply my knowledge, and that's what I think every night before sleeping. That is the way I think I can support my sand´s grain to make the world a better place for everyone.   Something that straightforwardly architecture contributes to the world is with "friends...
