Next step

 


Before even knowing that I would study it was clear that I would continue studying either a master's degree or even a second career, now that I am in my second year that idea has strengthened and I think it is the best decision I could make.

Why? because I have an eagerness to learn about a versatile range of things, not only about my career and its possible specifications, I have an interest in administration, illustration, cooking and much more activities.

In the specific of architecture, I am interested in heritage and technological innovation, although they seem quite distant issues in my eyes they are quite close since they are a new way of adapting, be it a building or a whole system. All this of course is designed with a permanent departure from the country, it is possible that I will return but I consider that to continue learning I must go out and know much more.

I have not seen very specific places yet, but I am struck by The Bartlett School of Architecture, in London, and ETH Zurich, in Switzerland.

Architect of the future

 


When I thought about the future and tried to imagine what it would be like, I saw myself as a professional woman in a beautiful apartment, kind of like in the movies, but I didn't know which path would lead to my mental image of success.

So at the beginning my first goal was money, since I thought that it would give me what I wanted. Until I realized that I liked art and I thought I would starve under a bridge.

This is how the money or happiness debate began.

I am quite stubborn and I wanted both, so I started looking for what to do with my life from the age of 14 where I was happy and had money, at that moment architecture appeared almost between angelic choirs.

Arts, mathematics, history and other subjects that were of my preference were combine in the same profession where I could earn money and travel, where the best of all was that upon entering I fell in love with my career and the future that my mind created.
