a remember

     This picture is very important for me because it represents my first year at university, however we doesn’t look pretty in the picture it doesn’t matter. The important is that appears on it some of my first best friends from university.

     The picture it’s a classic, we where on a morning break in winter, seated on the floor taking sun and it was taken by another friend.

     The sad is that most of my friends left the career, so I don’t see them very often, but when I see them is great. At 2009 we spent like all the day together, because we where always at university; from 8.30 to 7 or more. I think in any career it is very important to have friends, especially in my career, because you are always working in groups and also when you have to work alone, you need a piece of advice. So we supported each other and studied together.  

CRASH

     Crash is a 2004 drama film directed by Paul Haggis.

     The film takes place in Los Angeles, California and it is about racial and social tensions.

     There are different characters who met themselves during two days by circumstantial occasions. There exist the classic white cop, who is racist and do whatever he wants to black people without respect of the law because he has power, and on the other hand there exist another officer who isn’t racist and wants to be good with them.

     Also there exist other characters, like the burglar, the family guy, etc. The interesting thing of the movie is watching what everybody thinks, the prejudice they have by both sides, and how they meet each other and help or hurt themselves.

     I saw this movie on the cable three years ago and it surprise me, it is not my favorite movie, but I Iiked it a lot, it makes you want to enter inside the tv and interfere.

Website

For every work I have to do for workshop; which is the most important subject in my career  I first start investigating; watching images, reading and looking some references. I use google, but my main support is the website www.plataformaarquitectura.cl .It was created by some students from Catholic University and it’s one of the most popular and visited websites between people who study architecture.

The web consist on a main page with a title and a picture of a project, where you can click to view more information or search any project or subject you want, also there exist a section with the options you can search, like architects, ecology, houses, buildings, etc.

This website provides pictures, information and plans of the project and also a map from google earth that shows where it is located, so it helps you understanding the project, but every thing is in jpg, so it is for research only.

I use this website every week because it is very useful and easy to understand.
