Post 6: How can your major make the world a better place

A few days ago, a report appeared on TV that showed and talked about the problem of overcrowding that exists in some places in Santiago. And although it was something I already knew; I was shocked to see such harsh numbers and images. The notion that there are families of 10 people living in 30 square meters or 7 children sleeping in the same room left me thinking a lot and definitely I think that this is how my major -architecture- affects the world or being more honest: how it does great harm to the world. 

Even though most of the time my field is also guilty of a lot of waste and environmental damage, I think that the biggest change it can make is more related to people. How? Trying, as much as possible, to make the quality of life of those who live in the places that we make be better collectively and spatially. And truly in the future I would love to contribute ideas, no matter how small, to make this happen.

    Hello Arly, it really is very impressive news, it is also a fact, the reality of many people, I find it amazing that you are interested in contributing to improve this type of thing that can also be analyzed in geography.

    Hello Arly, it's always painful to know that many people live realities in which their quality of life is unworthy. I really hope that from architecture we can contribute to improve these situations.

    Hi dear Arly, I agree with you in every way, but, I believe that with your ideas, you can change the negative aspects of architecture.

Post 1: A country I would like to visit

Imagen
For many years I have dreamed of knowing a bit of Denmark or visiting the Faroe Islands (an archipelago that also belongs to Denmark but that is closer to Iceland) because I find fascinating its landscapes, culture and the cold climate that characterizes scandinavian places. Maybe I don't know much about the destination to be honest, but with the passing of time I have also discovered some architecture projects that are there that I would love to visit, mostly in the city of Copenhagen.  I have always considered that in the not so distant future I would like to live at least for a while there, I think it would be an interesting challenge. However I would like to do it as an architect and not as a student mostly because danish is very difficult to learn (I tried to do it once).  This is a picture of the Faroe Islands

Post 3: My favorite piece of technology

Well, certainly technology has changed our lives in many aspects. That is the reason why I think that I have many options to put in my top 3 (at least 8 objects to consider). However, how important is to me my computer doesn't compare with anything (not even with my cellphone). I got a new computer literally like a week ago, but before that I got one for a long time. And honestly since I was a kid I used to share everything (EVERYTHING) with my siblings, so when I get my own computer was... amazing! And probably that word's too weak to describe that feeling. Nowadays I use it for everything: to listen to music, edit photos, to watch series on Netflix, make photomontages, study, connect with my friends and family by zoom and an infinite etc., so it is on all day every day. I love the sound of the keys when I’m typing and I love it for the versatility of course, because I really can do anything on it. Even though my eyesight tires easily when I use it, I guess that without it...

Post 7: A career-related website

Imagen
  The last year, an assistant of a course showed me a website called DIVISARE ( https://divisare.com/ ) to search for references and projects of interest. The site is a sort of blog with a minimalist look that has categories like projects, designers, photographers and books, which contain a huge amount of neat sub-categories to find whatever you can think of. For example, the one I use the most is “projects”, where you can search for ideas by type of construction, location, materials, etc. I visit it several times a week, at least three or four days a week because I really enjoy learning about different projects and every time I have doubts I go in to read. What I like most about this website is that it is very well organized and it’s so simple that it’s very easy to look anything. Besides, the person who recommended it to me told me that the information that appears on it is generally reliable and the projects are usually by very good architects.
