Summer Holiday

I'll have to admit. I dont usually plan my vacations in advance, not because im spontaneous or something like that. The thing is that due to the university's protest and lockdowns no one can be really sure when and how long the holiday period is going to be. But aside from that ill give it a try.

So, for my holiday i would really like to travel with my friends to the north and go camping. The reason is that I love the landscape of the northen regions. The rocks, cliffs and color variation due to chemical reactions between the minerals in the soil and the weather makes the place really magical.

About a year ago me, a couple of friends and my girlfriend made a trip to "El Morado" national park as part of a workshop project. We stayed two days up there and did a lot of cool stuff like exploring, talking about posible proyects that could be done there and even tried to use rocks and other stuff to (kind of) build something. When we came back from that trip we realized how fun and interesting was to go and analyse these (in architectual terms) unexplored places.


As far as an especific place im not really sure. The first thing that comes to my mind is the "dinasour spine" in arica or the moon valley, but these places would be the start. from there we could explore places that people recomend us or something like that (so if you know laces like that please let me know :D). Aside from that the rest of the trip should be spontaneous. So, the food and that kind of things arent really important or predictible. I guess that I would preffer sea food but if it has to be canned food im okay as well.

I'm really loking foward for this trip and I hope that yours is good as well.

Postgraduate studies

I would love to specialize in urbanism after I graduate for two main reasons. First of all, The knowledge you get from the bachelor is to broad, which is good for work but not very interesting in the research and investigation field. The second reason is that I'm particulary interested in the dynamics of the urban patterns and how this could be applied to uninhabited places.

Resultado de imagen para urbanismoI think that is essential for an architect to travel and know different types of architecture, So studying abroad is the perfect chance to do that. I would like to study in Japan, preferably in tokyo, because the city has a very interesting stand in what defines the urban plans and how the city deals with it's inmmense population density. This topic are the most important matters in architecture nowadays because the human expantion is reaching its limits.

I can't really say which class method I preffer because I've never taken the time to research them (yikes !). I guess that it would have to be something where field research is the main aspect of the study.


So, thats what i want to do. I think that I still have to do a lot of research but I'm pretty certain that it's my favorite field.
