Post 7: Changes to my Study Programme

Currently I am in the fourth year  of my architecture studies I still have two years left and with the passage of time I have seen how the way of teaching has changed , when the academic load I was too demanding and we could not sleep in many days, there were many people with mental health problems who presented depression, anxiety, sadness and constant stress, in 2019 there was a manifestation that  was backed up by the media  so finally the students were listened by the people in charge of the university so the professor were more helpful towards the students & not so severe when they scoring the work of the peers of architecture , even though the career is very demanding it takes a lot of time & dedication & many hours of hard  work many of my classmates prioritize there mental health & happiness trying to enjoy what we do in the university .

When the pandemic hatted everything changed one more time personally I think that the online way of going to the university is much better we can take classes in our bedrooms while having breakfast ; I used to travel 4 hours every day to get into & out to my home from the university so that was very time draining but still I miss going back to university to do the ‘workshop’ that was a class very important to the development of our creativity & now only having our computer to do all of the interactions with my classmates discourages me .

I’m finalizing the last semester that instructs teóric courses next year I have mi professional practice so it must pass a lot of time since I could go back to the university even though the infrastructure was not top notch  and not didn’t have the best bathrooms. I miss going to Santiago & seeing my friends.

Post 6: Time travel to the Future

Time travelling is a thing that I never thought of before but if I could do some of this time travelling stuff I would go to Dubai in the year 2500 , I think that watching all of this years the development of the city since the decade of 1960’s  when it was no more than an array of buildings that had a lot of the early 1900’s Arab style architecture in its roots and then since the petroleum industry hit hard in the economy of the emirates starting an acceleration in the development of the city. In the year 2021 the Burj Khalifa with the world record of being the tallest man made structure of earth in history, that is the setup that convinced me of being in this city   it in the upcoming future ; imagine how a city could develop with an unlimited budget & the motivation that the Arab rich men have for constructing flaunty & extravagant buildings with a megalomaniac background & a desire to put Saudi Arabia as one of the world’s most powerful economies this makes m...
