My presentation next week



Hi people!

The next week I will talk about the relation between Modernity and Architecture. I will divide my presentation into 3 parts.

First, I will talk about the impacts of industrialization in the new architecture in that period. I will mention the aspects of industrialization just like economic, social and architecture. Then I will talk about this new architecture and its characteristics. Finally, I will talk about the conflicts between architects and engineers.

The society of the 18th century, it was impact for the creation of the machine vapor. This produced a big change in the society, just like social, economic, etc. With the growing population it was necessary create new buildings for the working class.

In the architecture, the industrialization generated new structural systems, like roads, bridges and gray iron, directing the architecture to the functionality. On the other hand, the was a struggle between architects and engineers because the architects resisted to the idea of progress, and they tried to keep the classic architecture, meanwhile the engineers were in agreement whit the idea of progress, so they organized the Universal Expositions, where the iconic Eifel Tower was born which transformed into the symbol of progress of this age.

Hi everyone! Today I’m going to talk about my vision of Santiago. What I like about Santiago is the multiplicity of people and things that are happening in a same place at the same time. I like too, the architecture of some places just like Barrio Concha y Toro, Barrio Italia, Bellas Artes, etc.  I think that all this places hidden and keep a special history. On other hand, I dislike of Santiago, is the air pollution, and the fast rate of the people who live and work in Santiago. Another thing that I dislike of Santiago is that the people don´t take care about the places and the public space.  I think that this is very harmful for us, because we share the same place, the same city. I think that would make Santiago a better place, is make a city more sustainable, because Chile doesn´t have a big level of ecological awareness so, for this is important that we try to face in all aspects of our lives that we can, optimizing natural resources, renewing and recycling to minimiz...

Dear all,  Today I'd like to tell you a bit myself. When I finished school, I started study law in Pontificia Universidad Católica, for a few years, but I didn´t feel satisfied because I didn't like just memorize and repeat once and another once that the teacher said to us, without think by myself. It´s for that, I decided study architecture in the Universidad de Chile because in this profession I can create all I want. I think that an architect contributes to society according to think the city keeping in mind the person and the environment and create architecture about that. In the future, I think that an architect and the architecture in general, will be create new forms and technology to fight with the climate change, the pollution and the shortage of resources from the sustainable design . My favorite subject is urbanism, because I think that is the dimension or area more social of the architecture and this is the most important in the moment to plan the cit...

Hi all! Today I would like to talk about my university. I´m studying Architecture at the University of Chile and if I had to say the things that make me happy in university is the friendship I found here. I have really good friends. Also, in general, I´m satisfied with the contents and the freedom of teaching.  But I think that are a lot of things need changing, in first place the teachers should have pedagogy courses because they aren´t teachers, they are architects, so they don´t know how treat to students, and they don´t know teaching methodologies. So, I think that is very important that they take some pedagogy course urgently.  On the other hand, I think it is urgent to structure the workshop, for example evaluations, class schedules, etc. are regulated and just like that to avoid an academic overload, which is currently affecting the mental health of the students a lot.  Finally I think that the infrastructure of the faculty is quite precarious, as students ...
