Career-Oriented Website My favorite website is called "The architopic" and the link to its page is: https://es.thearchitopic.com/, I almost never visit the website because all the information is in in the social media and it's more accesible, so I follow it on social networks like @Thearchitopic on Instagram and tiktok, so its content is present day by day on my cell phone.   The page is run by a girl named Ana Corina, she gives tips and recommendations on the ways of drawing, how to choose referentsa, mental health and even her daily routine as an architect. Additionally, she has masterclasses, project consultancies and both virtual and physical meetings (in Spain, which is her place of residence) with her followers to discuss issues related to architecture.   If you are an architecture student, I 100% recommend visiting her Instagram page, it always helps me to learn to be more organized and   has entertaining videos with a lot of quality information that can he...

What is my favorite meal? For me the hamburger is the best food in the world. The preparation of a hamburger basically consists of a juicy and tasty ground meat in a round and flattened shape with two bread tops, and for its filling a variety of ingredients can be added, such as melted cheese, crispy bacon, vegetables, sauces (in my preference only mayo and ketchup), etc. Definitely it's the best food, because you can always change its filling thus making it a personalized creation. However, it has a negative point and that is that excessive consumption of hamburgers can have negative effects on health. Burgers are often high in saturated fat, sodium, and calories, which can contribute to weight gain and health problems like high blood pressure and high cholesterol, but! if consumed in moderation and healthier options are chosen, it can be enjoyed without seriously compromising health. PD: Let's go eat a hamburger :)           Me eating a hamburger ;) ...

What's my favorite piece of technology ? Undoubtedly my favorite piece of technology is my smartphone, I use it all day at all hours... Basically I could say that I am a bit addicted to it, because it is very functional and offers me many benefits, such as: being in contact with my friends and family all the time, permits me take a so many photos and videos, I can download games, music and social media apps, it contains a calculator and a endless number of functions more.  My life have changed so much since I had my first phone, it’s like a mini portable computer that helps me with any necessity that I could have.  Would I recommend using it ? Of course!!! The smartphone it’s the best incredible invention that humans did, and the best part is that every day exist more versions and models with different colours and sizes of this piece of technology. My first cellphone was a BlackBerry. 😆

Why did I choose my major? Since I was a little girl I always had doubts about what I wanted to be as an adult, I liked many things and I couldn't choose only one. I always felt attracted to scientific careers and not to humanities, so when I grew up and people asked me "what I wanted to be", I had to choose an option and it was: Civil Engineering . When present the PDT and they published the results, I still wasn't sure which majors to apply for, even though I liked Engineering, so I went with my mom to a fair for applicants at the Universidad de Chile  and I spoke with the students of different faculties and one that I liked the most was Architecture and therefore, that was the one I chose. I feel very happy with that choice because I feel that my personality adapts quite well to what this degree is. Model: School of Art. Final Project workshop 2 Field trip to Casa Dominó by Tomás Villalón. Part of the first model I made.

Who I am? My name is Paola Navas Ginez, I´m 19 years old. I was born in Caracas, Venezuela and I moved to Santiago de Chile with my mom and my aunt  for 4 years ago, maybe the most things that I miss more are my friends, family and the weather because Chile it´s so cold for me.  I’m in 3rd semester of Architecture at the Universidad de Chile. My favorite things to do in my free time are watch movies, listen to music, sing, eat spaguetti and my favorite of all is play any sport, preferably tennis, I love that game because I practice it since I was 6 years old and also I competed for my country when i was a kid.
