W H E N I W A S A L I T T L E

Ten years ago things were a little bit different to me, I used to live in Santiago Centro and my responsibilities were just to count to ten and play with my toys all the time. But I remember that one of my favorite things was travelling on the metro, and to be honest I don’t know why. I always thought that all the things were bigger than me, that I was being controlled by a giant that loved to play with me.

When I got into the carriage all that I could see thought the window was changing and suddenly people seem to disappear for a moment, I was into my own world where things were completely different and everything I was looking at was alive just for that 10 minutes that I was into the metro, they were saying different stories that my mind was creating while the subway was going to the final station.

The metro was passing thought different places and enormous signs with multiples colors that attracted my attention. I remember always that Egyptian pyramid that was on the road because it made me think that I was travelling all over the world and that I was an Egyptian too.

But things just came to the end when I heard my mom saying that we have to get off the carriage because we are in own destination. That´s when everything comes back to the normal and all the things that I have seen are now just the things that they just to be.

A POSTGRADUATE COURSE

Since I have been here in FAU I have felt the need to study something not related to my studies, to think about something different than workshop or stuff. One of the things that I would like do is to study French, I really want to practice a new language because I have never learned before another language that is not English I am needed of something new, something that I have never done before. That is one of my motivations, but another one is that I think that is a beautiful language and has a lot of history behind that I really would like to know.

 I also would like to complement my studies with new courses  related with human beings and their thoughts. I know that it is a little bit different and it is not completely associated with architecture, but I believe that If know about human´s behavior or the reasons why we do some kind of thing, I could understand them better and use that knowledge to create new things.

Finally, I really would like to study something that complements my studies, like to new ways to build social houses or public buildings, I think that it would be very interesting to help with all the knowledge that I would have when I turn into a real architect. I would really like to study in another country that appreciate architecture, maybe in one of the best architecture universities in Spain or France.

M Y F U T U R E J O B

I imagine myself working as an architect. I would be creating new public building because that is one of the topics that has attracted my attention this year. I almost can see myself creating and designing cultural centers or public attractions where people can enter and enjoy a stage play or listen to Chilean bands or Chilean singers.

I have been thinking that I would like working directly with the public, maybe I would visit the place where I would be creating my building and talking with people about what would they like to have on that place. I just want to have fun at work, having a nice relationship with my colleagues and be working with friends. We would have a small company so we could support each other and succeed together.

One of my dreams is to have the opportunity to travel and work at the same time, I think that it would be super fun and I would learn a lot about other cultures and ways to see architecture and design, I will see things that I have only seen on photographs and television and I will try to understand why past persons did that and how could I try to bring it to my creations.

My jobs will be related completely with my actual studies, that is the best thing. I would be able to create and make use of my knowledge on every single way.
