Hi friends, I hope you are well, and are having a happy end of the year. Today I would like to talk to you about the changes that I would like to make in my University, the University of Chile, and specifically in the Architecture career. This race is studied in the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism (FAU), which is located in Santiago Centro, in the streets of Portugal with Marcoleta. I really think that this faculty needs many changes. First of all, we studied in 6 buildings (blocks) that in the past were a girls' school, an army regiment and in the end a market called Juan Antonio Ríos. Also, the condition is very  awful, because, in the summer the classroom are very cold, but also in the winter, because the radiators are very small for the size of the classrooms. In addition, w hen it's raining, there's no way up the stairs to the second floor without getting wet with the rain. The acoustic in the classrooms is very bad, because the teachers have to talk very lo...

ABORTION, LEGALIZATION? I really think that abortion should be legal in all cases, since being legal, we do not force anyone to have an abortion, but the woman is given the possibility to make decisions about her own body. And morally, we are not fit to decide for that woman's future or judge her for having made a mistake in the past. If the abortion is legal, the woman is free to do it or not, and it depends on her own ethical and moral values whether she does it or not. But I think that abortion should be legal. RECYCLING With regard to recycling, I think it is a habit that we all must adopt, especially young generations like us, and pass them on to our parents and grandparents. We have to be aware of the damage that our planet is suffering and the thousands of waste that contaminate beaches, flora and fauna. That is why in our houses we must recycle everything, plastics, bottles, glass bottles, etc. CHILEAN TV In my opinion, I think that the current television broadcast...

Hello my friends In this moment, I will talk about of my favorites TV series. Well, really, I watch series in Netflix, ahahaha. The best netflix series for me is "Downton Abbey", I started watching it when I was around 15 years old, in the summer of 2014, because Netflix had recommended it to me. At that time, the series already had approximately four seasons. Each season had eight chapters, and also a final chapter of long duration. Well, now I'll tell you what the series is about. Downton Abbey is the place where an aristocratic family lives at the beginning of the twentieth century, at the time of the industrial revolution and in the period spanning the First World War. The plot is about the life of this family surnamed Crowley, who are three sisters, a father, the Earl of Gratnham, and Cora, the Countess of Grantham. The life in this castle also transcends with the servitude, that lives in the same palace (they are approximately 20 servants) and one of the funnie...

Hello bloggers! I would like to how they are, first of all ... Well, today I want to tell you about the postgraduate I would like to do after graduating as an architect. As I mentioned in previous blogs, architectural restoration and heritage are subjects that fascinate me and that I love. More than building and designing houses, I would very much like to renovate old buildings and restore them, or give them other uses. In architectural issues there are many referents, such as old sheds that now function as theaters, churches that have been transformed into libraries, for example. I have been researching, and one of the best universities to investigate and address the subject of heritage, is the Polytechnic University of Madrid, and its faculty of architecture is called "School of Architecture of Madrid" or ETSAM, which before, in the 19th century had been School of Fine Arts. I hope that when I graduate I can visit Europe, and go through the magnificent restorations t...

Hello bloggers I want to talk to you about photography on this occasion. This is one of my biggest interests, but it is not common photography. The type of photography that I love and that I love to investigate is old photography. From a young age I liked to collect old photos and postcards of Santiago and the old buildings and the people who lived in our city. This is very important for me, because through a photograph it is possible to analyze interpreting the historical, political and cultural value of a society. My interest in this type of photography began when my grandmother, when I was very young, took out a very old trunk and showed me all the old photos of my family, of my great-great-grandmother, who had a beautiful painting with a classic. And old clothes, from about 1800. In addition, I saw pictures of my great grandmother's yearbook, her marriage and many other things, which seemed incredible to me, because I knew the origin of my family from material objects, and...

Hi friends, first of all I apologize for not having written long ago, but I had some mishaps. I would like to talk to you today about my future work. Although, I study architecture, there is a subject of my career that I am passionate about and that I would like to develop later on. When in history classes I hear about the great buildings built a long time ago, starting with Mesopotamia and Egypt, and arriving at the Renaissance, I imagine visiting all those places. There are times when I think I would like to travel the whole world, but I do not have the time or the money. Architecture has a fabulous history, where one wonders how ancient civilizations could reach such full development. This is where my two passions, architecture and history mix. Sometimes I think that my dream job would be to be a professor of history at our faculty, but on the other hand, I would also like to be a researcher of ancient buildings, something related to archeology, for example. This is why I feel t...
