WHY DID I CHOOSE ARCHITECTURE

Hi, today we have a difficult topic, decisions in our lives...
When I was a kid I used to say that I would like to be a civil engineer in mining and I didn't even know what it meant, I said it because I liked a little bit math, it sounded cool and for a strange reason my parents were happy with that idea...
But I was just a kid. Then in high school I found an interest in sustainability, specifically in renewable energy. Later when I was soon to finish high school I thought about studying law, philosophy, sociology or architecture, I like those kinds of things, but I only liked reading about philosophy and architecture.


I finally chose architecture. I made the decision after watching documentaries and reading books about masters of architecture, and I realized that what really interested me was the social role that the profession has, the ability to find the right questions to give the right answers.
At the university I discovered that the career was much more than what I thought, I no longer think all the time about how to focus the profession towards society, now I feel that simply this profession exercised correctly is a contribution to society and is a tool to combat inequality.

In the beginning the first houses were located in a very isolated place, then it began to expand until it reached the coast, next to the Herradura beach.   The Herradura beach is one of the beaches I've been to the most in my life and I really like it, what I don't like is the settlement itself, it's like the streets are always full of dust, there are almost no trees to give shade, people always seem to be angry and public transportation is really inefficient. Perhaps these last two things are related to each other because of the Coquimbo-La Serena conurbation and the long stretches under the northern sun that people have to travel on their way from home to work. Although...
