  Hi everyone! today I will tell you about my favourite subjet of this semester. As I have written before, I`m cursing the third year of architecture. This semester I had six subjects and I really enjoyed all of them, but especially Design and project managament. The purpose of this subject it`s to enable the student to document, plan, manage and evaluate architecture projects in consideration of the regulatory framework in Chile.    In classes, we constantly learn a lot of material since there is a lot of information contained in the Urban Regulations in Chile, but it is not boring, otherwise it is really dynamic, because the teacher is very ethusiatic, fun and proactive with the students.     What I have enjoyed the most to learn is the entire legal process that requires when you present a project in the municipality of the commune that you are working in, because it is so much more complicated that I thought, because there is so many people that have to app...

Hi everyone! Today I will make my own bucket list: -Graduate from University. -Go on an exchange. -Go skydiving. -Fly in a plane operated by my boyfriend. -Go on an African safari. -Build a house for my mom. -Give my dad a car. -Visit Firenze. Italy. -Go on a cruise with my best friends. -Go to the top of the Eiffel tower. -Adopt a child.  These are te favourite things/activities on my bucket list. Some of them are really difficult to achieve, for example go on a safari in Africa, because it is so far from Chile, and also (and the most important) it is very expensive. I have done some of them, like go on an exchange, in 2015 I went to Scotland on a school exchage, and in the same trip I went to the top of the Eiffel Tower, and also visit Firenze. I would love to share these activities with my family, my two best friends and my boyfriend, because they are the ones who always support me to fulfill my dreams.

Zaha Hadid was an architect that I really admire. She is an anglo-iraqi who studied at the Architecture Association in London. When she graduated, she started working with her accademics, and after two years became a partner in the office. After three years, she formed her own studio; Zaha Hadid Architects, which works until this days, giving jobs to more than 400 people. She created a unique style of neo-futuristic architecture, full of curves, differents perspectives, within the trend of the descotructivism. Furthermore, Zaha also devoted herself to teaching in her alma mater, Architecture Association, at Hardvard, and at the Univivesity of Illinois. Additionally of creating unconventional buildings, she also dedicated to interior architecture, creating furniture and consumer products. She also designed her own clothes, and made her own clothe brand. Besides inspiring me as an architecture student, she inspires me as a woman, because she was the first woman in history to receive ...

This one is one of my favourite photos taken by me and it brings really cute memories and good feelings. It was taken the summer of 2016 in the Panguipulli lake, where my parents live, and where I am now during quarantine. And it shows my dog named Coca enjoying the wind and looking directly at my dad (who doesn`t appear in the photo). I love this photo because it remainds me all the good times of summer; spending time with my family that I don`t see during the year because I study in Santigo, it also remainds me the summer heat, the sound of the waves, the peace of that place, and obviously my pets wich actually are five dogs, and I miss them a lot when I am not in here.    Last year, I decided to print this photo and put it on the wall of my room to see it more often :)

My favourite show is a british netflix series called Sex Education. The serie tells the life of a teenager who is the son of a sex educator, and he takes that rol at his school, giving differents advices to his classmates. I really like it because it`s very funny but also sentimental, and it has different young characters with very varied personalities   I have always wanted to watch "Dark", because it has been recommended by my friends, but I haven`t  because everyone says it`s difficult to understand as it have a lot of information.  If I have to recommend a serie, it would be "Sex Education", but also "La casa de papel", it is about a group of robber that enter to the paper house of the bank of Spain to print their own money. It`s really dynamic; it has a lot of action, also romance and comedy at the same time.

My favourite piece of technology is absolutly the cell phone. I remember having a cell phone since I was 12 years old, wich was really different from the one that I have now, because you could only send texts and made calls.   Now, I use it almost for everything; making phone calls, using social media, taking photos, and sometimes even to read some university papers.   I use it most of the day to stay connected at all times, but it makes me lose a lot of time of the day (and also the night).   I really like it for its size, because i can take it with me all the time, and also beacuse it last a long time, I have had mine during four year and it still works perfectly.   My life without it would be much more productive, but maybe more boring.

When I was a child my dreamjob was to be a singer. I don`t really remember it, but my family always tell me that story. For many years, I didn`t care about the career I would choose, but when I was at the last year of school, they started taking differents tests and questionnaires to choose a career that matches my skills and preferences. That`s how I researched about architecture and ended up being my favorite option. So far, my experience at university has been really good, I have met very nice people and made grate friends, even though sometimes, architecture can be overwhelming and stressful.  After  graduation from university, I would like to work in an office as an interior architect, I really love that area!
