Post 5: Changes to my study programme

 

I think the curriculum of my career is consistent with what is studied, because the subjects principally are like maths, physics, and history. I think that are the most important subjects to understand the architecture.

The workload and length studies are always been the problem of the career and of the university because the workload, principally of the workshop, are super stressful and leaves us as students tired and anxious. I believe that we can learn the same without a lot of workload. However, to me, the length studies are right to learn everything we need as architects.

The faculty of architecture and urbanism of the university of Chile have a lot of weaknesses in terms of structure, like the casino is so small for all the students, the calefaction doesn’t work well in all the classrooms and we don’t have spaces to rest or sleep. So, I would change this things to have a better faculty to all the necessities of the students.

Another thing that I would change is the teaching methods in workshop because the method trial and error make anxiety and stress and makes us feel that we don’t do anything well in the design process of a project. So, I would make a method where the teacher teaches us first the things that we need to do and how we could do that, instead make us do something that will always be wrong in first place and learn whit that mistake.
