Post 8: My favorite subject this term

My favorite subject

The subject that I most enjoy is Workshop by Domingo Arancibia. In this class, Domingo he makes us experience with diferences and unusual materials for create things related with architecture. We make abstract models representing firmitas (firmness), utilitas (utility) and venustas (beauty) and generate habitable spaces.

Also, we learn about famous and important architects like Peter Zumthor, Mies Van Der Rohe and specially Le Corbusier, Domingo calls him "The Jesus of architecture" and is a true fan.

Once, we went to Campus San Joaquín of Universidad Católica to do sketches about the buildings in the campus, we practice our draw and learned to observe.

I really like this subject because is actually architecture unlike the others subjects. We do things for real and not  theoretical, we make projects and experience with thing that are not realeted with usual materials in the carreer like paperboard, we use fruits, vegetables, lasagna, caramel, eggs, foam, paper and specially our imagination, and that's the best part because we need to use it for understand the orders that our professor leave us.

I've wanted to study architecture since I was 9 years old and it's amazing to do this thing in this subject, this motivates me to follow this path for many years in my life.
