Social housing

I find that this interesting and relevant topic in the current pandemic situation that is experienced worldwide, now more than ever saw the inequality and needs in homes, starting with social housing.

The architect Ricardo Tapia, an academic at the University of Chile and a specialist in social housing, states that “People with fewer resources and more vulnerable sectors do not want to go to live in those sectors where people with the most resources live: what people want is that their neighborhoods and communes enjoy the same residential quality as upper neighborhoods, better transportation, more green areas, better complementary services ”; In Chile the inequality in the ways of living is shown, the pandemic crisis showed the reality in which people live daily, the inequality observed in the homes and sectors is unfair, as the architect Ricardo Tapia says well, there should be a balance between sectors, which find equality in opportunities regarding their environments, regardless of the category of the sector.

College life

At the end of school a new stage comes, the university, although it is not something so different it has its differences, now nothing is an obligation one sees what things do or not, what class you decide to attend or not, in the university what changes the most It is that everything depends on you, it is your responsibility, and parents do not get involved like in school, the requirement is another, the grades are not as easy to obtain as school.

It is a new and different stage, but good if you take advantage of it and enjoy it, you create new friends, you acquire new knowledge, if you study what you like you enjoy the classes, you are interested in the content you see. I am currently in my second year of university, my experience to date has been good, I managed to find good friends, I like the bouquets I have and the atmosphere that exists in the university, I have had days without sleep but nothing so terrible to talk about. about bad experiences.

Story behind a photo

Well, this photo was taken at the end of my first semester of architecture degree at the University of Chile in 2019, it was the first workshop delivery, which was working throughout the semester, it was a new experience and recently Starting university life, it was an extensive but entertaining job; at the end I was satisfied with all my work and I was able to understand the purpose of most of the activities. The night of this day was spent without sleeping and talking all the time with a friend while we worked to finish everything requested, the good thing is that we both managed to finish it and deliver it in time for the exhibition, at the end of the delivery we were able to breathe and go to lunch We bought sushi with other friends to celebrate our term of delivery and semester, it was a good experience despite all the bad times that one goes through due to pressure or stress. :)

Climate change allowed the evolution of the species by modifying its aspects so that it could resist the weather conditions.
