Hi!

I’m in my third year of architecture and today I'll talk you about something that really interests me, the architecture in cinema.

When I watch a film, I really like to see how the architecture can create different atmosphere in a film and can make different scenarios to make a different storyline. Both are arts that can be perfectly combined  to broadcast to the viewer the things that the director want to. The film “La Grande Bellezza” is an example of how the architecture can be protagonist even if it’s not. In there, Italy is the set of all the sequence; the churches, palaces or ruins of ancient Rome are the perfect environment to express the pure decadence that its protagonist is going through, even in the most beautiful way.

In cinema, are many ways of how architecture works through different situations, in the film “Parasite” is another film where the architecture is part of the perspective and metaphors between the two families; other example is “Her” where the colors (predominantly red) and the minimalistic style in the interior spaces they can show the mood of the situations in each scene.

Architecture is definitely in anywhere and I think it’s amazing how you can work in different areas, I think it's one of the best things from this career. 

Post 2: The best concert ever

Hello again!

In my life, I've only been to one concert, that was from Paramore in 2013 at the Movistar Arena. For those of you who don't know, Paramore is an American rock-pop band formed in 2008 integrated by the lead vocalist Hayley Williams, guitarist Taylor York, and drummer Zac Farro, but when I went to the concert, bassist Jeremy was part of the band.

I was only thirteen and it was my first time in Santiago, so I was very excited about it. I went with my friend (which was also her first concert) and we waited to get in for like 3-4 hours, but it was definitely worth it, I think it’s one of the best experiences that I had. The show was amazing and we enjoyed every second there, we jumped and sang every song and the time goes by so fast, we didn’t want the concert to finish. I also remember that when the members of the band said goodbye to us, nobody wanted to leave and then they come back, it was a very exciting experience. 

Post 1: A country you would like to visit

One of my biggest dreams is to travel the world and visit as many places as possible, but if I have to choose just one of them, Japan immediately comes to mind.

I would like to visit Japan because the culture is very fascinating and different, like the language, the food, the people and the coexistence of traditional and modern. In addition, the architecture is beautiful and very varied, where you can find all around the country, from the big cities with skyscraper and futuristic places; to rural towns with wonderful landscapes and natural beauty.

If I have the chance to go there, I would like to see Kyoto, known as the cultural capital of Japan, and visit the temples, shrines and Zen gardens, which are truly spectacular, as well as explore the traditional neighborhoods and experience what it's like to live there. For all this is that I believe that Japan is a wonderful country that I hope to visit at least once in my life.
