Changes to my study programme

Hi,

 When I decided to apply to university, I was full of uncertainty about my career choice. I was faced with an endless list of academic courses, many of which I was completely unfamiliar with. I had no idea what they meant or how they related to my future.

My first year at university turned out to be a journey back to the basics of architecture. The first subjects like geometry, mathematics, history and workshop 1. Everything was done by hand, which was a challenge for me as I had been told, but lied to, that it didn't matter if I drew badly, which it did.

As I entered my second year, the degree began to take shape. I started exploring more specific subjects and working on the computer with programmers, which was also a big challenge in my academic journey.


The workload has been very heavy throughout the course, but I think it's also my fault that I don't know how to organise myself. There are times when I feel like I'm leaving one task to start another, like a never-ending circle.

In the Fau we didn't have much space to work in, we didn't have much space to work in, but now a room has been added to help, but it's still very crowded. But one space that has not been solved is the cafeteria, but that should be solved next year.

    FAU is very small and there is no space to work at considering that we study careers were we have to use many materials and big equipment tools ;(

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.
