How can your major make the world a better place

 

Hello everyone!

Today I will tell you about how I think architecture affects the world, several colleagues who study architecture know that this was affected in the industrial revolution when new materials appeared which have given the possibility of creating iconic buildings of today.

In saying this I try to say that architecture is changing with respect to the materials that are emerging, this can make great changes in how you can inhabit a space, in general architecture is one of the specialties that most pollutes, since the materials have high rates of CO2, in addition, the process that is required to prepare these materials, this causes a great pollution in the earth.

Currently and thanks to many studies have been creating materials that pollute much less, I have even chosen to add sustainable spaces in some buildings, these mainly help to reduce the rates of CO2 that produce the building.

Nowadays architecture has managed to create the possibility of creating a set of actions within a space, an example of this is a tower of 15 floors, where the first floors can be of commerce, some floors of the middle offices and the last houses, and the roof can be a useful space to be able to install photovoltaic panels to generate electricity in a sustainable way, in general architecture manages to create spaces for the development of  society,inaddition, to be able to  study together with urban planners the best ways to be able to promote eco-friendly societies.



Mainly I see myself working in wood, since nowadays wood is seen as one of the materials with less carbon footprint, although it is a little contradictory since to be able to have that material you must cut down trees, but this is achieved by enhancing the afforestation of these trees that work to produce sustainable wood that is as it is called.

    I also think that wood is somewhat contradictory hahaha, I like that you are looking for a way to reduce your carbon footprint.

    Wow, I think it's great that materials are created that don't pollute the environment as much, and I think wood is a precious material.

    I always forget that the construction of a building always has to take into account the carbon footprint. That concept has not been talked about much in the race and I think it is very important to keep it in mind.

    I was also surprised that the use of wood could be sustainable, but it is understandable since instead of burning it and releasing carbon into the atmosphere it is used in wooden structures that ultimately fix the carbon and do not release it.

my favorite food

  Hello everyone! One of my favorite dishes is the fried egg puree, it is a very simple meal since they are only ground potatoes with milk and butter accompanied by a fried egg. This very simple dish only requires puree (ideallyit ishomemade) and an egg, to prepare the puree depends on the portions that are required, but its main ingredients are potatoes, milk, butter and salt and clear an egg. The first thing is to peel, chop and sew the potatoes in boiling water with salt, once cooked they are ground, butter and milk are added to taste, mix and ready! The next step would be to fry the egg, I think we all know it takes to fry an egg, but we only need oil and salt, once ready it is served on a plate and to eat. It is a very simple dish, but it brings back memories of my childhood, so it has made it very special for me, because when I was little, My tonsils used to become inflamed so at lunchtime it always hurt, but when they made me puree with eggs it was the best as I mixe...

Why did I choose my major?

  Hello everybody. I remember most of my childhood playing with building materials, pieces of wood, screws, bricks that were left over, they never let me play with pieces of steel because they told me that I could cut myself. so I think I always wanted to study something related to construction, I never thought or imagined myself with a profession so I could not say one exactly, but I think it was when I was 12 years old when I decided that I would go for a career that was related to the construction of buildings and the first thing I thought was to be a civil engineer in construction, I had that idea until I was almost 17 years old, Until my father told me that I could study architecture, at first I was very hesitant to study architecture because I thought I would have to know how to draw very well and it's something I'm not good at hahaha, but when I met a she architect and told her I had the idea of being an   architect, she told me about her experiences and I think that ...
