What's Santiago like?

-

I always lived in Santiago therefore i think to know how the city works.
 In my opinion, Santiago is a poorly organized city because we have a serious connection problem.  That is, people who lives in the city can´t move correctly with the current conditions of means of transport, for the poor quality of the machines (buses and subway) and the bad distribution of the roads. For example, someone who lives in Colina has a difficult access to public transport, buses and subway don’t exist in this place. in parallel, someone who lives in Puente alto (far from main street) must wait for a bus more than 20 minutes and it is probably broken, collapsed or without the minimum security means, adding the bad treatment of the stressed drivers and mad users.
The non-main streets are usually left aside in the urban planning and many times we can see some broken or little spacious. The worst in this situation is the difference between the communes, the communal limits are like barriers that segregate people from different social classes.  The quality of streets and public spaces depend of the municipality funds. In conclusion, Santiago needs more intercommunal cohesion and spatial justice.

Postgraduate studies

At the present time I have not though about my future in depth, but I know I would like to continue studying after getting my degree as an architect. As I said before, I am not quite certain what kind of postgraduate course I would like to do. Though I think my future postgraduate degree would be related to housing and public space because I want to make a positive contribution to society.   I believe one of the most important aspects of contributing to society is improving people’s life quality. People’s life quality is directly connected with their environment in which they do their everyday lives. On the other hand, I would like study my postgraduate in other country like Germany, Australia, China or Brazil because I am very interested in learning about a different culture and way of life. Housing and public space are not simple and unique. These topics change according with who inhabit the space, the type of interrelationships that occur, the quality of spaces and constru...

my future job

I would like to work in an architecture office or somewhere that gives me the freedom to design. But, ideally, my work must combine two things that I'm  re ally  passionate  abou t , architecture design and travel. My life plan contemplates contributing in some of the causes that I consider fair, that is to say,   improve the quality of life of those who abit this planet, therefore my future job should be related whit that and architecture or urbanism.   I want to create or contribute in sustainable designs around the world because most of the current buildings do not have the necessary technology or design to be considered sustainable, in other words, the contemporary constructions pollute  the  en vironment instead of combating preexisting pollution. Currently, I’m in a subject called “urban sustainability” and I've learned a lot about pollution and the environment and the importance that they have.  I am very interested in the subject of ...

English Language Challenges

-

In my case, before entering university, I had  very basic notions of English, in other words, I knew some verbs and how to apply them thanks to some movies or some songs. The truth I had to learn English in my school days was quite deficient and boring. This is why attend more "serious" English courses at the university meant a big change for me. For example, the use of blogs has helped me a lot. S ince, write my own ideas motivates me more than do other types of activities in English (like read a text that does not interest me). I think write blogs it's a good technique to learn the language (althought i do not have the ability to write blogs very well). Because write a text makes you think and "forces" you to look for the right words or connectors to express an idea clearly in English, Spanish or any other language.
