BLOG #3 - My Best Friend

My best friend is Benjamin Vargas.

He’s an architecture student just like me, and we met back in 2017 when we started this career, we had every class together that first semester. We’ve been friends ever since, and we’ve taken every Taller together because we work very well together and we have a great time doing so.

I consider him my friend because he’s always been there for me through the ups and downs these 3 years have had, he’s always had the right words for me when I’ve needed a little push, and I always try to do the same for him.

The best memory I have with him would be in the summer of this year when he invited me to visit him in his hometown: Pitrufquén. Pitrufquén is a little city 30 km south of Temuco where his family has always lived. He invited me to his grandparents’ house, just outside the city, which his grandfather built with his own hands. We had a great time going around the city to meet the places where he spent his teenage years (his school, his old house, etc), cooking falafels, having lunch with his family and then eating some ice cream laying on the grass. It was an amazing day!

BLOG #6 - Postgraduate Studies

I would love to do a Master's Degree in Conservation of Architectural Heritage when I finish my career. I'd like to do that Master's in Italy, ideally in Milan. If I could, I'd like to travel there and live the experience of studying in an Italian classroom. In Chile, we have a mediocre legislation around Architectural Heritage: no support for the owners of buildings cataloged as Architectural Heritage, unbearable bureaucracy to do any modifications on them, poor regulation to integrate them to the contemporary lifestyle of our cities, no help from the government to administrate them, etc. I think we could learn a lot about how European countries preserve and manage their Architectural Heritage Buildings. They have already studied their over two thousand years of buildings and the best ways to protect them from damage while including them to the everyday life of their cities. I would like to study about restoration of damaged materials, building rehabilitation (...

BLOG #1 - A Country I'd Like To Visit

Mamma mia… I’d love to go back to Italy. My mother has Italian nationality so it’s a country I’ve been very close to since I was very young, she used to talk to me in Italian and tell me all the amazing things she did when she lived there. I went to Italy for my Viaggio di Studi with all my school classmates back in 2014, and we visited nearly 20 cities in this beautiful country. I love the language, the landscapes, the food, the ice cream, the hot chocolate, the museums, the architecture, everything! I’d like to get my Master’s Degree in Italy when I finish my studies here because they have one of the most renown restoration schools in the world, and that’s the branch of architecture I’d like to dedicate myself to. When I do that, I’d like to re-visit some of the cities I went to back in 2014 to take a more architectural look at them, make some awesome photos and visit some friends I have there. Arrivederci!

BLOG #O - Welcome

Hi! My name is María Ignacia Silva, I'm 21 years old and I'm in 3rd year of Architecture. To be perfectly honest I'm already B2 Cambridge certified and I passed all 4 tests at the beginning of the career but I need the credits, so I guess already having B2 would be my strength, but I get too cocky about it and don't practice my English it can also be my downfall. I hope to review some of the things I haven't practiced since I graduated from school and make new friends from other careers :) See you in class!
