blog 8: a subject you enjoyed studying this semester

Imagen
hello everyone, today i will talk to you about the subject that i passed in the semester i just passed. this subject is urban sustainability.  in this class we get a real idea of sustainability of human habitable places, with a more ecological approach.  here we could see the diffuse and dispersed city, we could see how even in the maps the cutting of trees is evident, we saw what would happen if the temperature of the earth were to rise 2° Celsius. The reason why I liked this is because within the work that we were given, I met an association (nacto) and it is with which I could identify and say "I want to do this in Chile". It is about giving another approach to the streets, to give them space for bicycles, pedestrians and cars, to make a place where everyone coexists harmoniously. This association currently operates in major cities around the world and in Latin America has been implemented in Medellin, Colombia. The truth, the difference with the streets here is very notic...

blog 7: Who is a person/expert on your field that you admire?

  Hi everyone, today i´m going to talk to you who is my favourite architect oscar niemeyer was an outstanding brazilian architect, being one of the best in latin america. he had to leave brazil because of the dictatorship that this country faced, he was a follower and promoter of le corbusier's ideas (the father of modernism). His works are varied but the one that stands out the most is the city of Brasilia, which has the shape of a bird. He also did the cathedral of brasilia, the national congress of brazil, the niemeyer building, the hospital of lagoa, the museum of contemporary art of niteroi, the copan building, the oscar niemeyer museum, the church of san francisco de asis, etc. The reason why I like this architect is because he makes unique buildings, is faithful to his ideas and takes modernism in South America to the next level. Sadly he died on December 5, 2012.

Blog 6: How Can Your Major/Career Make the World a Better Place

Hi everyone I believe that architecture affects people's daily lives, the culture of a place, the spaces, the senses, and so on. All constructions will affect a place for better or worse. That is why every decision of the architect has to have many foundations. I see myself as a dreamer, as a person who prefers the welfare of a person over economic benefits, I have always thought that green areas are important everywhere, not only people with money can have access to it. The way in which architecture contributes to the world is by solving mainly the human being's habitat and the connections with his environment. I hope in the future to be able to leave Chile and get to know other cultures, other types of constructions, specialize and mark a legacy with my constructions, to be someone important and recognized in this world. it will be difficult but it is something I want to achieve.

Blog 5: a photograph you like

 Hi everyone, i hope you are well and that you had a good week of rest Today i´m going to talk to you about a photo that i like. this picture was taken by my girlfriend two days ago (Friday, May 21) and it shows the two of us together, I arrived a few days ago here in Calama on a surprise. The reason why I like it is because it is the second time I can be with her, we are going to spend our second month together and I could meet some of her family (her aunts, cousins and grandparents). To be honest I was really looking forward to be with her, since I bought the tickets a month ago and she was just having a bad week at work. Her father picked me up that day at the airport and then we will see each other again when I go on vacation.

 Hi everyone i´m jorge valladares and today i´m going to talk to you about me favourite food. Smashed potatoes is a meal made with boiled and smashed potatoes xd, as well as other ingredients. you have to boil the potatoes, then mash them and add butter, milk (You can also use cream ) and oil, beat everything until you get the right consistency. it brings back very nice memories, since my mother used to make it when I was a kid, she used to combine it with many things, eggs, salads, etc. this food is very good for your health, it has no fried food or anything else (although you can serve it with that xd).

We are currently in a relationship, my first relationship, we recognize this is not going to be easy and we decided to take the distance as a test. This is why my cell phone is so important, it lets me keep her a little closer with video calls or with the messages we send between us. She...

Blog 2: Why did you choose this career

Imagen
 Hi everyone, this is my blog number two. Here I´m going to talk to you why I choose architecture When I was little I didn´t have in mind what I wanted to be in a future, that was never in my thoughts. When I entered to the high school was when I started to worry about the thing what I was to study. The first career that I had in mind was history pedagogy, but a I had to change that option because the payment that I am going to recive is little.  After a while, I discovered architecture because my religion teacher, something surprised to me and that was my mind is the limit.  My experience at the university has been only online :( The job that I would to have is something that help the poor people, to implement more green areas in Chile and then, go abroad with my girlfirend <3   (me and thanos)
