Person in your field that you admire

Hi, it´s me again,

Today I going to talk about the person in architecture that I admire, who happens to be Daniel Jadue. He’s a Chilean architect, born in 1967. He grows up in Recoleta, the commune in which he is currently mayor. He studied majors of sociology and architecture at the University of Chile.

I admire him because he has done social work, something that not many architects do, and he has linked the social and architectural areas, responding to current needs that affect Chile in the housing area.  So, he inspires the architect I want to be.

He has contributed mainly to the community of Recoleta, carrying out the project of a popular real estate company, which consists of the construction of two 5-story buildings, with a total of 38 apartments of 55 square meters, available for rent to vulnerable families in the community.

Thanks for reading, see you.

My dream job

  Hi! Since my childhood, my vision of the ideal job has gone through several stages, from wanting to be a doctor, lawyer, clown, dancer, and professional swimmer to finally longing to be an architect. This evolution reflects the breadth of opportunities that architecture offers. Currently my dream job is travel in Chile or the world and help people in what the architecture career gives me. Maybe, that job could get him maybe at a foundation or work for the state. I think the skill I need; it is essential to merge my technical skills with a deep social sensitivity and an ability to work as part of a team. This combination is fundamental to designing and implementing projects that benefit all the communities. About the salary, my goal is not to accumulate wealth, although I know that architects are often fairly compensated for their work. Ultimately, passion for the work outweighs any monetary considerations when selecting a job. My academic choice relies in the field of urban plann...

Time travel to the past

  Choosing between travelling to the past or to the future poses an intriguing dilemma. For me, it is a difficult choice, and I can see strong reasons in both directions. However, at this point in time, I would lean towards travelling to the past. The main reason for this choice is my difficulty in visualizing myself in the future. For some reason, I cannot project a "me" into the future in a clear way. This makes the option of travelling to the future somewhat abstract and challenging for me at the moment.   Travelling to the past, on the other hand, is attractive because it would allow me to see my former self from a different perspective. It would be an opportunity to learn lessons I may not have valued at the time. In addition, I could resolve unfinished business with old friends and perhaps find closure in some areas of my life.   However, I want to emphasize that I don't think I would stay in the past permanently. Rather, I would consider this as a kind of t...

Why did I choose my major?

  Hi, I’m studying architecture. As a child I dreamed of being a doctor or singers, the latter inspired by watching movies and series on Disney. When I had to choose a career, I didn't know which one. So, I had a lot of options, such as political science, social work, photography, engineering.   I finally chose architecture, connecting the options I had. But at that time, I did not know whether to study architecture, because I did not know well what the career was about. For what it has been, a discovery while I study it. This discovery I do not know how well it has gone, sometimes I enjoy it, sometimes not so much. But my college experience has been a lot of learning and I guess that's what it's all about. Thanks for reading.
