Photography

 So, in todays post I’m gonna talk about the types of pictures that I like to take and it’s about trying to take the best position of the different models that we need to do in our classes, specifically in the one that we call “Taller”.

Then, in this way I like to take photos of models that I think could look great in some positions and try to make them as much as real possible, but you can still think that they look as a model, it’s not like an objective image because I only use a filter, which is black and white, and I try to change the brightness and the contrast of the photo. 

Therefore, I feel like I can express the point of view that I have of the idea I’m trying to make, so photography is an option for it, but I also need to make some sketches to show it, because when I took the picture of the model it need to be the last one that I have done. 

Although I don’t always take those kind of pictures, I also like to take some photographies of the different types of buildings in the city and how they can help us to express something that we are living, for example, I like to capture some of the street art that is becoming so popular in our actual cities. 

Here are some of the pictures that I have taken:

Movies or series that I like

Today I’m gonna talk about some movies and series that I like and they’ll be my favourite ones.

Harry Potter

So, just to start the movie that I’ve been watching a lot these days is Pride and Prejudice (2005), because I’ve watched this one so many times that I can even tell the dialogues and what occur in every part of it, but this one isn’t my favourite movie because the saga of Harry Potter is the one that I enjoy the most. I think that I’ve been watching this since I was pretty young and because these saga is really extenze I feel like I’ve been growing up with this.

La escala humana

I’m not a big fan of directors of movies or series, so I have a mix of different films and they are pretty wide. Like I’ve watched every single movie of Fast and Furious, but I’m also interest in films that are related to the architecture area, like Medianeras or some documentary films like La escala humana.

Stranger Things

And a serie that I’ve watched in the past months and I have stick with it is Strangers Things. I think that is the one that I’ve enjoyed the most and I feel that I could keep watching it for the rest of my life. So if you haven’t seen it maybe you should, but I think that the first season is better than the second, so don’t expect a lot from this.

Postgraduate studie

Paseo Bandera

If I can keep studying in the future will be because I’m interest in other areas of the architecture and I can have the possibility of study again, I mean to have enough money to pay for it. 

And a course that I would like to study could be something related to the area of the urbanism, because I find it interesting and something that has different points of view and the reason of this is because it depends on who is analyzing the situation and the solutions that is going to give. 

So studying abroad and specially in Europe could be an awesome opportunity to me, because in this region of the world are develop lots of projects which are rehabilitating the cities and the reason of why I would like to study all those projects is because I think that we, as Latin Americans, should understand and analyze the ways of how we can make our city better.

We can even see this reflected in some projects that are results of this previous study, like the usual named as Plazas de Bolsillo, which is a movement that was arisen in the past years in Chile. But this is not the only project that is going on in our country, we can also see different projects that pretend to improve different places in the Metropolitan Region, like Paseo Bandera, which is a pedestrian walk in the downtown of Santiago.

My future job

So, I’m just in my second year of studying architecture and I’m not really sure about what I want to do in the future, but when I try to look at myself doing something that I enjoy is related to my career. Although there are things that I don’t really think that I could be doing, like working in a office every single day because I truly enjoy being outdoor, trying to understand how the city is decomposed and the things that interact in this one, so in this way studying urbanism is something that I could be working on, because if I’ll be studying the city I should be working outdoors, walking through it, interacting with people, asking them about how they are living on it. 

Even though I like this part of the architecture I’m also interest in the history of how the city has become so important in our lives, I mean, when did we start to group and become a community? Is also something that I would like to study and the ways of how buildings started to has different programs and groups people. And to know all this I think that Europe is a reflection of the historical cities and how they spread; so this one is a reason of why I would like to travel a lot because of my job. 

Even if I can’t imagine myself doing something exact, I like to think about what I could become.

Italy is a city that I would like to visit
