BLOG #4 - My Favorite TV Show

I rarely ever watch TV. Every series I've ever followed chapter by chapter has been on online platforms like Cuevana or Netflix. The only TV channel I've watched to keep up with a series was AXN, a cable channel that broadcasts only police procedural series. Every weekend AXN had a marathon of every chapter broadcasted during the week, and I would sit and watch every CSI, CSI: NY, CSI: Miami, and Criminal Minds chapter, almost 20 hours in front of the TV!

Of those, my favorite was - and is to this day - Criminal Minds, because it was the only show back then that had a focus on the psychological aspect of criminality, and I love the intricacy of it.

The show follows the Behavioral Analisis Unit of the FBI, a group of profilers who helped police departments all across the USA to catch the most controversial and hard-to-catch criminals ever. They are shown as they work their cases and struggle with their personal lives.

Its protagonists are Aaron Hotchner, the unit's chief, and the team: Derek Morgan, Spencer Reid, Jennifer "JJ" Jareau, Penelope Garcia, Emily Prentiss, and David Rossi.

I don't know if I have a favorite chapter, since it's an extremely graphic thriller and the criminals shown have their heads deeply messed up, but I loved the chapters where the characters were shown in their interactions outside work: sharing a Christmas dinner, listening to each other over a glass of wine, having each other's back.

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 #5 - My Future Job

I've known I wanted to be an architect since I was about five years old. As an architect, I would hate to have a desk job and sit in an office all day. I would like to be in a job position that would allow me to know people from different places and realities: clients, distributors, construction workers. It would be great if that job position also allowed me to be involved in my projects' growth from the idea to the materialization. I think that's the most rewarding thing a job can give you. If I study a major I would like to specialize in the rehabilitation of architectural heritage. I think buildings are the physical testimony of the way the members of a given society live their lives and relate to each other in a given moment of history. It is an interesting challenge to find a way to balance the preservation of that testimony with the adaptation of it to the lifestyle of our times. In addition to that, we have to consider the challenge of preserving our architectura...

BLOG #2 - A Concert I've Been To

In April 2017 these two legends of music - Elton John and James Taylor - came to Chile for an unforgettable show at Movistar Arena. My father invited me to this concert, and it was a magical night. I’ve been listening to James Taylor practically since the day I was born because my father loves his music so much! I even have pictures with my dad sitting on the couch holding a six-months-old me in his arms while watching a James Taylor DVD, so it was very emotional for both of us because it’s an artist that brings us closer together and has done so for 20 years now. At that concert he sang every song we love, we sang our lungs out to all of them and I cried every minute of it. It was amazing. After James Taylor’s performance Elton John came to the stage and, even if it wasn’t as emotional for us, having the opportunity of seeing this legend of British music live was wonderful! It was one of the best nights of my life :D
