My study programme: Architecture

 Hello guys!

As I have told you in other blogs, I am studying Architecture at the University of Chile, the degree has had several changes in the subject of the mesh, in 2016 several subjects were changed and specialty electives were added to the training, something which in my opinion is fine, what I didn't like is that in 2022 they lowered the number of hours of these subjects to avoid the academic load problems that the degree has, but in this way the electives have fewer hours and it is spent less material and some teachers leave many tasks outside the classroom, which increases mental health problems.


I think it would be very helpful for new generations to be taught BIM programs from an early stage in their degree since currently there are only a few branches that teach it (mainly electives), in addition to being few hours and for few students, which causes the studies to be inequitable.



Regarding the academic load, I think it is very difficult to change the mentality that workshop is the most important, the good thing is that more and more teachers are aware that we have more subjects than “just workshop”.

I think that the faculty is very backward in terms of infrastructure (comical being a faculty of architecture), it is understood that being a heritage building it must have certain care, but much is missing in that area, from something basic like heating to specialized machinery which are not enough for the number of students.

The teaching methods of the old professors are “questionable” but some are effective, I think that hard work is important in this career, but it is essential to get rid of the cruelty of some of its professors from the university, I cannot believe that they are still destroyed models or thrown out the window.

In conclusion, I believe that the university is made up of all its members and that we must work to make it a safe environment, physically and mentally.

See you soon

    I agree with what you say, the mental health factor is important and should not be neglected.

    I agree that more and more the idea that "workshop" is the most important thing is gone, probably not all of us are interested in working in design in the future and we should focus on other areas.

Politics

Hello!!! Today I will talk to you about something very important, Civic duty, we have the power to choose what we want and what seems right that we have to exercise to maintain it. In Chile, after many years, voting was once again compulsory for citizens over 18 years of age, due to the low number of people who voted in presidential, parliamentary and municipal elections. On september 4, a plebiscite was held to approve or reject the proposed Constitution of our country, in which the rejection option was chosen by more than 60% of the population.  I believe that the result was due to the lack of credibility in the people who wrote the constitutional manuscript, due to the controversies in whick they were involved, the latter including all political sectors. See you soon!!

The Chilean health system

 Hello! I will talk about a sensitive and controversial topic, the Chilean health system, until last year I was one of the people who thought that the system was inefficient and that only those who had money were saved, I don't think so now. Unfortunately my mother got sick las November, when I was in Santiago my family did not want to tell me what was happening, I only knew that she was hospitalized urgently for something in the stomach, but this was not the case, she had cancer in the colon. She was treated at the hospital in Los Ángeles, after performing some tests, she was operated on less than two weeks after her hospitalization, I was very surprised and suspected what was happening. Thanks to the timely action of the doctors at the hospital, my mother is now very well, they removed all the damaged cells, but she still has continuous check-ups to prevent problems.

My dream job: Architecture

 Hello! Today I am going to tell you about my dream job, since I was little I wanted to be many things, from a teacher to a police officer, today I don't see myself in any of those jobs. I like architecture and although at some point I only saw it as a hobby (putting together puzzles of famous buildings), I have grown to love it more and more and today I only see myself in the future as an architect. After Before My dream is to go abroad to perfect myself in restoring heritage buildings - at this moment I am doing my degree seminar in this area - in Chile old buildings are not taken care of and my idea is to change this situation, even a little, for that I think I would have to work on the National Monuments Council. Another area that also interests me is having my own architecture office to design, restore and remodel buildings in ruin or damage, ideally that have heritage value. Ideally, I would earn money to be able to travel abroad and see many beautiful places, which would hel...
