The blog experience was new, never before I have a blog, and I am a really bad writer, am not used to write about anything, I am very bad for that in general, it’s hard to me interlacing the words, especially if it is in English. But to think about all this was a good experience, you learn a lot when you have to write and look for new words that you did not know before. Also one opens his mind and becomes more creative, in each blog already had a rhythm and I was less able to write it, one develops an ability to write, also the topics of blogs were entertaining, especially in which one that we had to talk about things that we like. Of course, what I dislike most was the class when we have to write a blog and we can’t see the football match between Chile and Portugal for the semifinals of the confederation cup. Well, talking about what was the most difficult of writing the blogs, for me was the inspiration and have the creativity to write one blog every week, that was the bigges...

One of the more important arts for me is the cinema, I really love to watch movies, also search for directors and different genders. I have watched movies from all decades, i like to appreciate the difference of technology and script along the time. Specially i like the documentary films, my favorite documentary is "Sans Soleil" (sun less) from Chris Marker, he is a french director who have a special way to make movies and it was that he invented the use of found footage or even his personal archive to create a narration with very innovative forms using essays of politics and metalanguage, he deconstruct the typical way of doing films and enlarge the universe of narrations and forms including all the arts in one art. I also like the new wave of the french moviemakers, is a avant-garde that happened in the sixties, they start doing a magazine talking about cinema but then they make a lot of movies that talk about movies. They made a very important change that is give total...

My favourite device of technology are the cameras, specially the photograph camera. I really enjoy taking photos and i also think that the old technics are the better than digital techniques, the analog photography is pure magic for me, I find fascinating the way a chemical invention can capture a specific moment in the reality and make it reproducible. The photography is an important discovery for me because i like to keep my memories alive and with a photo a can travel into the imaginary of that moment or period in my life. Is also important to think that every time i'm watching a picture of someone else that i don't know. I can think that a person was in that  specific moment and he have had the ability to capture the light in that special way.

Well, i choose study architecture after i know my score in the PSU, before that i didn't know what to study, in the school i always like math and i have good grades in this  signature, but i also like language but i was really difficult to me, so after the PSU i see what possibilities i have to choose, and architecture was the best option, because i like math and i like draw. I think this is the typical reason for why people enter to this career. In the first semester i really like the career, was very artistic and have a lot of math and geometric, but was too much work, team work, essays, models, etc. That is the main problem of architecture, it is entertaining and creative, but it requires a lot of work and time

This semester i really like the subject “urban sustainability”, is the only urbanistic signature that i have this semester, is entertaining and the professor is very sympathetic and understanding. I like the text that we have to read, the first text was one from Manfred Max-Neef, a chilean alternative economist, was easy to understand, very explicative and interesting, also we have to read a classic from the urbanism theory “A City is Not a Tree” from Christopher Alexander. Other thing that i like is the team works, the first work that we have to made was a video from some urbanistic problem in Santiago, other work was to create a new ecologic district, making planimetry, 3D models, etc. in this works i feel that i learn a lot, and also was creative and enjoying. The class usually begins with the professor explaining new matter in a powerpoint, or they show us a video, like “ted talks”, and other class are revision from the works that we made, so in this classes the professor and t...
