My experience using blogs

In my opinion using blogs its very useful, it isn’t hard at all, because you only have to write about things you know or your feelings, opinions or toughs about a subject. Also is a good way to improve your English, since the beginning of the year I’m into doing blogs, I think that my English has developed a lot, also my vocabulary.

I don´t know if there are another program where it’s more easy, or amusing to express ourselves in English, but if there are in the future it would be interesting to practice English by using them. There are a lot of tools that may help. But the fact that we’re using technology for learning English seems to me fascinating and entertaining, it doesn’t take a lot of your time and all of us know how to use it

I think that most of the topics that we wrote where interesting, but there’s something I would correct, I think that we didn’t wrote a lot of things about architecture by itself, and it’s very important for us to develop ourselves in that subject. Like writing about our favorite kind of architecture, our favorite architect, building, city and topics like that.

Changes to my study program

I don’t know how many changes I would do, because just this year architecture in the Universidad de Chile changed his program. The new program, in my opinion, it’s more interesting, there are less math, science and stuff, but there are more urbanism and specialized chosen subjects, also, the career least less and there are more free time.

Despite that I think that this year the schedules were very well adjusted, I think that the career still being too long, I mean, compared with the same career but in others universities, from other countries, like in Europe, where architecture last like  4 years.

I think that the infrastructure of this university isn’t very good. The university have problems with cleaning it, there aren’t enough workers to do all that job. There are a good system of providing tool for the students in “El Hoyo”, but what this faculty needs it’s a nursing, Here the people work every day, but, What would happen if there´s an accident? This place should be prepared for this kind of problems.

Now, talking about technology, I don’t know how prepared is this university. I know that there’s a lot of computers, a laser printer, normal printers and a few plotters, also a projector in most of the classrooms. I would set more and better printers and plotters. I know that it isn’t cheap, but is required in this career.

I think that the teaching methods are very demanding and tough, but I wouldn’t change it, because, for years it has been the way to teach architecture, I don’t know if a change would be good.

Someone i would like to meet

I think that’s is hard to decide who I would like to meet, if it’s a musician, an athlete, a politician, an artist or an architect, not only because I think that I can have an interesting conversation, also because I would like to recipe new thoughts and new knowledge .

In my opinion, and trespecting to the polic world, I would like to have met Salvador Allende, this is the politician that I most admire, He has a very wise ethics, and for me he is a symbol of perseverance, strength, and loyalty, one of the politicians who gave the most to people, like health and education. I would like to know and learn a lot about his point of view.

Now, talking with respect about architecture, I would like to meet the Chilean architect Alejandro Aravena, He is also the winner of the last Pritzker, that’s is compared with the Nobel prizes of architecture. I would like to talk not only about his architectonic style, also I would like to learn a lot about his way of seeing the social housing, is one of the subjects that are more interesting for me, also is one of the subjects that I want to work on in the future

I think that a lot of the people that I admire, the topics  I would to talk with them are about social matters, andget to know their points of view, not only of their way to see social things, also life.
