Hi, today i'm going to talk about an architect that i like, Louis Kahn, one of the principal characters of modern architecture.
He was born on 1901 and he died on 1974. I like him because the he used to consider the light and the material nature like one of the most important things and you can clearly see that in his architecture. I also like the monumental character and the meticulous work.




One of my favourites works of him is the Insitute of Salk. It's a biological institute which is located in California, USA. This proyect is symetric and as you can see in the photo it has an empty spacewhich is the patio of the institute and also has a course of water in the middle and the view is directed to the Pacific Ocean
He has another works like the National Assembly Building of Bangladesh, Art's Gallery of Yale's University, Kimbell Art Museum etc.

Hi, today I'm going to talk about the film "Pride". first, I have to say that I liked so much the movie because it shows how two different groups  were able to face the critics and do something about it and also, I liked that the miners, gays and lesbians could face their differences and focus on the common problems they had.  My favorite character was Mark because he was the first to feel empathy with the miners and create a group to defend what he thought it was wrong. He persist to achieve the his objective. I liked very much the final idea of the movie: “the joint makes strenght” and that this idea were represented like this because we live in a world full of prejuices toward the gay people and this movie shows that you can had a wealth society by accepting the different and learning from it. I like the scene of the dance because it was a mix of lesbians, gays, miners and random straight people, which before could never exist. I...

Hi today i'm going to talk about a subject that i have enjoyed studing this semester. This is Morphology, Structure and Materialization . This subjetc include a lot of differents topics that are related. At the beggining of the semester we study how the constructions have to be affected by the conditions of the environment artifical and natural too. For example, how the coefficient of construction or even the type of fauna present on the sector impacts the future construction. Then we study the anatomy of the buildings and the functions of each one in the whole structure and what material would be bettter in a construction considering the function, environment. the user. etc.   In this subject we also  make calculations and we start making calculationes for the weight that must support the roof, for example, I think i like this subject because it was a big aproaching for what is and must consider the architecture in real life. It's  a subject very complete a...

why did i choose this career?

 When I was a child i just wanted to be a pediatrician but as time goes by i realized that i didn´t like biology, i couldn´t see blood or fractures and the most important  thing, i didn't even know how to treat children. After a while i discover that i like arts, physics and maths so i had a few different options on the table. I like the idea of studying Astronomy, Arquitecture or even Maths. I talked with a friend's dad  who is an arquitect and after that talk i reject Astronomy and  Maths because i was sure that i wasn't going to work as a astronomer or a mathematician and i liked the versatility of the  architect's job, so that's why i decided Arquitecture. My experience in this career has been really exhausting but restorative at the same time. I have learned a lot and  made  really good friends here but i don't sleep enough so i have mixed feelings but i know i love it anyway. I don't really know what i want to do with the career in the...
