“environmental research” (sounds professional)

Hey there, today I am going to write about a subject I like at FAU. As we know workshop is the most important subject in Architecture so if you do not like it, it is difficult that Architecture likes you for real. Of course like Workshop, but I guess it is more interesting to write this time about another subject.

This term we began with a new subject called “environmental research” it is a kind of Urbanism class. It is a very nice and interesting subject because we have two teachers: the main teacher is Paola Velazquez and she is officially the teacher of urbanism, but we also have a sociologist that actually gives most of the classes, we have been investigating and analyzing, in my case, painters. In the beginning we began researching about all of them, but then I had to choose one. Alex is the name of “my” painter and it has been so nice to get to know so much about his life in Plaza de Armas. But going back to the class. Luis, the sociologist is so interesting to give classes, it really gets me interesting in how thing can be thought and how he, in a point of a sociologist, sees things.

I have this class every Wednesday from half past eight to twelve o´clock and why I think it can help in in the future is because architecture is made a crated for people. So he know how people think and how people behave and I feel that he transmits a little bit of that knowledge to us. I am glad I am having that mix of sociology and urbanism together and I hope it is going to be fruitful.
