Doll´s house

Imagen
Today I´m going to talk about a new that consist in a dollhouse that was made by an architect named Sir Terry Farrell. This architect of the M16 HQ made in the year 1981 and the house doll was inspired by a sketch that his son did when he was eight years old who suggested a “space city”. Platforms, escape hatches and landing pads and space toys structured the dollhouse. It was expected to fetch about $1000 in an auction. I chose this new because I think that is crazy that Terry Farrell competed among 300 other architects to do the best dollhouse, and now it is so expensive. I think that is beautiful that he got inspired by the creations of him child and make his dreams real. Now his son, who is 40 years old now, is thinking about offer to get the house for his daughter, because that giant toy of 176 cm brought him back many memories.                                    

Free time

Well now I don´t have much free time, because I pass my time in the university almost all the day and I arrive too late to my apartment. One of the thing that I do when I don´t have to study is play with my bunny, it's just one month old, it's a really good company and It´s a good distraction. I think that adopt a pet help me to reduce the stress and now I feel a little better. The other thing that I do in my free time is pass the time with my boyfriend, we usually go out to eat something like sushi or fries, also we stay in home seeing movies or playing smash Bross, but now he is on Quillota and I won´t see him in a lot of time. The hobbies that I had before to start this career were: play voleyball, paint, play instruments, take pictures and do exercise all the time, but now I can´t do all that thing because I don´t have enought time, the only that I want is be on vacations to recover all the good habits that I had before. The unique thing that I still doing is draw, b

My favourite project

I´m going to talk about my favourite project that I did the last semester. I was in Taller Saavedra and we did a lot of works. First we started with abtract models, and this consisted on go to different places to analize them and extract a concept, then we had to do a model inpirated on the concept. The most difficult part of the last semester was the months before the strike, because all the class had bad marks and all my classmates were scary. During the stike we continued working, we didn´t rest, because the last projects had a lot of percentage, so we decided to take advantache of the big period of time that we got to progress our ideas. The project that we were doing when the stike started consisted on make a house for one character. We had a lot of options like the painter, the cooker, the dancer, the mad, the addict, etc. The teacher gave us the character and we could exchange it. My character was a magician and I had to search information about the personality of this kind o

A job

Well I´m not sure about what´s the job that I would get in the future, because first, I have to finish this career and later I have to choose among the varied roles that the architects accomplish in the society. In the class of fundaments of the architecture, the teacher invited architects that make different functions and works. One of them works compiling information about national monuments, and she approves the remodeling of buildings that have a lot of history, but are in bad conditions. The other woman does artistic interventions in different places, she likes to act and she combines the architecture with the drama. The only man that was there is a landscapist who graduated of this university, and he related us, that he sent an e-mail to different architects offices around the world and one of them in Australia answered that he can work there, he said that he fell in love with that country. I think that I have to search more information about the works that I can get in the fut

Being green

A topic that is very relevant today, is the care of the environment. Well I   don´t do much for the nature, but when I remember it I try to keep the switches off the largest time possible or when I´m washing the plates I try to don´t waste the water. Today exist to many ONG’s that take the protect of the nature too seriously like Green peace, which is one of the most famous and also one of the most daring organization, because the people, who are implacate with it, go to dangerous missions, like go into the middle of the ocean to sabotage the whales hunters. I really admire the work and the sacrifice of this persons, because they make changes, and they don´t wait, they just go and save the live of different species, without matter which is. One of the things that worry me is the extinction of thousands of animals and plants, to many animals are desappearing every day and the numbers of species are decreasing. If you want to know more about that you can search for the Red List

A really important book for me

Imagen
Today I' m going to write about book that help me too much in this career. The last semester I didn't know anything about architecture and I decided to search for books that could help me to learn more. The teacher gave us to many bibliography to read and one book that I still using is the book of Francis D. K. Ching called Manual De Dibujo Arquitectónico, this book helps me so much, because it's has to many draws and is to easy understand how to repeat the technique. I really like this book because the sketches  are perfect, it has a lot of topics, from technique things like how to do cuts, elevations, location plans, textures, etc. even how to do better sketches teaching techniques to do different types of shadows, of textures and the proportions of the human body. Thanks to this book I can express better my projects because all the ideas has to be explain with draws and diagrams, and is something that you don't learn at the school, it´s a skill that you have to devel

Halloween

Hi! today I’m gonna talk about my experiences on Halloween…. Every year since I was eight years old I go out of my house to collect candies, but now I have to go with my brother that is three years old. When I was a kid I always went around my neigborhood with my cousins saying ¡treat or trick! to all my neighbors, and after we compared to see who had more candies. In the actuallity I go to parties with my friends and we always choose funny costumes, one time I went with to friends to a party with costumes, and when we arrived we saw that nobody had costume, the most funny thing was that one of my friends was disguised of monkey, and she didn´t carry clothes to change it. This year I don´t get a costume because I’m going to travel to Quillota In Halloween night, maybe one of my friends will do a party but I´m not sure, I hope that my parents have bought candies for the other kids, to take some for my haha. Sometimes I miss be a kid beacuse this period is so funny but now I don’t have
