4 Why did I choose this University programme?

 

Hi Everyone!


When I was a child, I only thought about playing so I never imagined being a professional, rather I wanted to become an athlete. I dreamed of becoming a soccer player and playing in the best stadiums in the world. When I finished my high school I chose a university degree according to my grades and preferences. I liked mathematics and I decided to study Industrial Civil Engineering. After 1 year and a half I decided to retire when I realized that it was not my thing.

In 2019, I prepared for the PSU, and I didn't think about what I was going to do until I saw my scores. I had 3 options in my mind: Civil Construction, Commercial Engineering and Architecture. At that time I chose architecture and I think it was a great decision.

 Despite the fact that architecture is a very expensive career because it spends a lot on materials and tools, it was never an impediment in my choice because it was what I was really passionate about.

 The main reason I chose this career is because of it's versatility, since you can work in different areas from building a house to working in law. It'd be incredible to be able to build a stadium, it'd come close to my dreams as a child.

This is my second year at U Chile and I feel that I have learned a lot. During this semester I was able to get to know the FAU because due to the pandemic it was closed.

My favorite subject during these first two years of my degree is WORKSHOP 2: CONCEPTUALIZATION OF THE ARCHITECTURAL SPACE. I really enjoyed learning this subject. We develop complex architectural exercises that contain architectural plans, models, diagrams. Personally, I feel that it has helped me a lot to grow professionally, I've also had good grades, which confirms my learning.

When I finish studying I'd like to travel to different countries to complement my knowledge of Architecture ... And who knows? maybe even work and live in another part of the world

Here are some images of my projects.

Greetings to all!
