Blog 3 English IV: "A Building that I Admire"

 Hi everyone! Welcome back :D

Today I’m going to talk about “A building that I admire” and that it’s “Heydar Aliyev Center” by Zaha Hadid. I really love this building because of its curves of the building skin, they are so soft and match with the context flowing with the floor as you can see in the picture.



Well, this building it’s located in the capital of Azerbijan called Baku and its program is made of offices, a hotel, a mall, a theater and in the center of the building is a large square to spend a great time with friends and family.

The main idea of this building is to represent the sensitivity of the azerí culture and the optimism of a nation to represent the future and the avant-garde in architecture on its lands.



Finally, the principal material for this beautiful building and its skin is the fiberglass reinforced concrete and the fiberglass reinforced polyester. These materials were ideal as they allow a high plasticity of the design of the building with its curves and different forms.

Thank you for reading, have a nice day ! :D

Blog 4 English IV: My pets

Imagen
  Hello everyone!  Today I'm going to talk about my pets and my boyfriend’s pet. In all my life I have had 4 dogs and now I just have one, regrettably. First of all I had a German Shepherd called ‘Igor’ . He was with me from when I was 3 years old to 16 years old when he died because he was too old and he was in pain because he developed different health problems because of his age and we decided to euthanize him. It was a difficult time for all of us but it was the right thing to do for him.  Five years before Igor died we got a new dog, it was a poodle, and my brothers and I called him ‘Pipo’ and he was my favorite pet of all I had because we were so close to each other. I spent a beautiful time with him until one day my neighbor’s dog killed him. It was the worst time for me because I thought that I was going to be with him till he goes old but it didn't happen. Pipo Two years before Pipo died we got two German Shepherds, we called one ‘Dinka’ and the other one we call...

Blog 7 English IV: Changes to my study programme

Imagen
  Hi, lovely to see you again!  Today I’m going to talk about the changes I would like to make to my study programme. I’m studying architecture in the university of Chile and actually my career has 5 years and a half to finish it. The first change I would like to make is upgrading the buildings of the faculty because the rooms are so cold in winter and so hot in summer and that is really uncomfortable. The reason for this situation before is for the high ceiling and the composition of the walls, but the trouble to fix these buildings is that they are heritage buildings… so it is complicated. The best solution for now is to put an air conditioner in the classrooms.  The second change I would like to make to the study programme is to put an obligatory class of physical education in all of the semester because with that way all the students can be healthy and the physical education help to release stress and this is really good especially in this career. The third change I w...

Blog 2 English IV: The best Holidays ever

Imagen
  Hi guys!  Today i’m gonna talk about the best holidays I’ve ever had in all my life. This holiday was in February 2020. My triplets siblings, some friends and I went to Coquimbo-La Serena, celebrating the end of the exhausting semester of university (especially me because my semester lasted a lot). We went on a bus to the city and we stayed at the house of a friend.  Wetland - “El Culebrón”   The main idea was to stay there for 2 weeks but at the end we stayed 3 weeks because we had some great moments, like visiting the “Culebrón” wetland. It has a lot of ducks, dragonflies, and different types of birds… I took a lot of pictures of that moment but my sister has all the pictures in an HDD and she is not with me now… so I can't post my own pictures, sorry. Also, we went to a pub-restaurant called “El muelle” and they served 1 Kg. of french fries with different toppings and that was amazing and delicious. I highly recommend that place if you can go. The pub-restaurant...
