Post 6: Postgraduate Studies

I´ve always imagined studying all my life, it´s something I love to do, because I think it´s fundamental to be better in your discipline. That´s why since I entered in de career I knew that as soon as I finished I would go to study outside of Chile. I´ve only got a year and a half to finish my studies and that´s why I´ve started to think about the destinations that interest me, considering interesting cities to live in as well as universities and study plans that seem appealing to me. At the moment I have three options in mind. The first would be to go to Barcelona, to the Polytechnic of Catalonia. There is a master´s and PhD program in architecture therory an criticism, where several of the great architects I have studied throughout my career are teaching. In addition, the Catalan culture seems to me to be very powerful and its city is marvellous. Secondly it would be New York, at Columbia University. There they have a master´s program in Criticism and Curatorship in Architecture that I would love to study, and obviously the city is incredible,but I can´t stop thinking that life there is very expensive and very stressful. My third option would be London, there I would be interested in studying a master´s degree in cultural management, wich is developed from several disciplines. It would be very interesting to learn how to approach that subjects that interest me from other ways of thinking, in addition to knowing tools that make my knowledge grow beyond architecture. I really like the idea of working in the future in cultural centres, museums, places of learning, etc. So a master´s degree in curatorship or cultural management seems perfect.

In any case, my plan will be to study full time, because although I dream of living in another country I also have a lot to come back and hopefully be able to find a place in the university to be able to teach and continue learning right here.
