Dream program career

As all we know, Architecture is a career based on the experience, I think Architecture is for living it, beyond studying it. So starting with this idea, the main change I would do in the program, is to travel and visit the most important architectural works, at least in Santiago the first year, and then who knows, out of chile!

I know that not everybody has the same economic situation, and that’s why I think the faculty should give the facilities to students in need.

Continuing with the program, I’d focus on things related with the human behavior and how to control it, for example, we all start the university and immediately have problems with organizing time. So I really think that is urgent to put some subject that teaches you the best way to do the projects, how much time you should spend on thinking about the project, making the project, how many hours you should sleep, what time, and many other things that are basic, but most of us don’t know how to go through with them.

About the teaching methods, as I’ve already said, I think it’s very important to travel and live the architecture, so a good way to teach could be in the place or the building that we want to study. And at the time of making models, every group of students should have their own classroom, because here in the faculty we have to be looking for a place start to work every hour, because of the schedule of each classroom.

And of course there should be AutoCAD courses because you pass the first year and immediately teachers demand you for a model in 3D in AutoCAD with contour lines included! Well, I’m exaggerating, but it feels like that (Well actually I didn’t feel that because I haven’t passed first year yet haha, but all my friends did haha and they told me haha…. Poor them)

So basically that would be my suggested program: just trips (not the drug, of course…) and work collaboratively with the other faculties of the University.
