Blog 5: My Future Job

Hello everyone, today I will tell you about the work I would like to have in the future.

I think the work I would like to have is related to the restoration and conservation of heritage buildings, although I would also like to teach about the classical and heritage architecture of both Chile and the world. The only thing i'm sure is that I don't want to be locked in an architecture office designing buildings or drawing plans, because I don't like it.

Whenever I think about of my future work, It comes to mind traveling and knowing many heritage buildings and which have marked a before and after in the history of architecture, from The Coliseum to the Basilica of Saint Sophia and its mysterious dome. I am fascinated by the idea of understanding its functioning, its structure and working to keep these great constructions in place over time, and also to teach others about this topic.

All the courses outside the curriculum mesh I have taken and the specializations I chose are related to material and intangible heritage, it is a subject that I am really passionate about and would like to develop further in the future.

Blog 4: How Green are you?

Hi everyone!, today I will talk to you about recycling and the environment 

I must really be honest and admit that I am not very aware of environmentally friendly practices, but I have taken some of the habits my family do have. They recycle and separate the trash according to its materiality, make compost and even reuse glass bottles and convert them into glasses and vases. I do the same practice, however, I do it because it's a habit in my family rather than doing it on my own (I know that I should change that mentality and I am working on this). Because I awake 2 hours from college, I use a bus, but to get around in the place where I live I prefer to walk.

I do not support an eco-organization, I do not really know whether recycling centers count as an organization, and I think that is due to the personal misinformation I have on the subject. I would like to be more conscious and a useful person in terms of recycling, to start showing more interest and being just as committed as other environmental activists. To reduce my carbon footprint I try to disconnect appliances that I don't use, avoiding eating meats, use cloth bags and avoid using plastic cutlery, dishes and glasses. 

In our society, it is necessary to raise awarenes about the issue and the effects of pollution and greenhouse gases on the whole population.
