TED's video opinion

Nowadays, we are growing and growing as population, technology and a lot of other things that have advantages and disadvantages for us. One of the last named is about enviroment.

Global Warming and pollution are our big problems today. Many people think that it isn´t real, and is false that someday we will have consequences from it. But it´s true, and everyday we are closer to that consequences. That´s because architects, designers, companies and scientifics are so worried about it and trying to give us better alternatives or solutions to this situation.

The big problem is that while we are growing, we are moving away as the same time from everything, and we still have to work, study, have social life, etc. That means that we have less time, more distances and less connections.and therefore we use fast alternatives for all, and it isn´t too healthy most of times.

Re-planning cities, build bikeways and anothers alternatives to get closer are the solutions acording to the experts. It would be very expensive for us, but not impossible. Maybe we are not alive, but I´m sure it will be better for future generations. I think that we can start with simple (but not little) things, because we need to create awareness about our enviroment. It could be with masive education programs, publicity, and "low cost" alternatives.

  1. Building bikeways is not as expensive as you think, it is more expensive to enlarge highways and roads

CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME

Well, I don´t know if I want to change something about my career. I think that the curriculum is nice, and it’s more, because I actually think that our school is more demanding than others which are “at the same level”.  Our teachers say that a designer is not only a designer, we need to be an intellectual too to start to do our work well because we work for others and our mission is trying to solve people’s problems. It means that is necessary to us knowing about history, philosophy, maths, sciences, etc. besides the technical subjects like drawing, composition and project.   And I like this. I feel like when I get graduated, I will be prepared for everything. The problem aren’t the subjects. Is the schedule. It’s too badly organized! For example, I need to have Physics’ class three times a week, and on Thursday I have that three classes in just one day so that means that my Thursday is basically five continue hours of physic. I hate it. Another important thing that...

My Career

I’m in my first year studying design in Universidad de Chile. I chose this career because I always like to draw and I considerate myself very creative. I love do things for others with my hands, with my mind, with my heart, and is very grateful when that things are solving people´s problems or needs.  To be honest, I didn´t know too much about this career, so when I start studying I really started from the beginning. I was a little bit scared, because I didn’t know if I really chose the right career. I was between studying Art, Music or Design. Today I can say that I wasn’t wrong.  For a moment, I didn’t want to study here. I wanted to study in Valparaíso in the PUCV. The subjects that Universidad de Chile had before weren´t of my liking. But I’m from Rancagua and I would be too far of my family, so they didn’t like the idea of me studying there because I’m too sickly and I really have to take care of myself always. I wouldn’t have anyone there and I couldn’t be able to ...

Postgraduate Studies

There are too many reasons why I decided to study design here, like the vision, the people, the teachers, the subjects, and principally the options of postgraduate’s study. My uncle is an architect from FAU and she decided to study in Barcelona as a postgraduate in Universidad of Barcelona. There, design is wonderful and you can have thousands of options. Now she is working there and sometimes she travel to Chile to talk to me about her work. Since I visited Barcelona, I fell in love with the country. The culture was amazing, and I didn´t feel like an alien there. They talk Spanish as me, so It wasn´t difficult to travel alone. So, when my uncle started to live and work there, I didn´t think it two times, why not? I only need to have good marks to postulate. I will love to work in something like researching of the culture of a country , so Barcelona is a good option to start. I think that I could study something about the origins of the materials linked to their folklore the...
