Changes in FAU
I study Architecture in Universidad de Chile, my Faculty is the Architecture and Urbanism, and we share this with among other careers, they are Design and Geography, so it's supposed to be a good environment to develop time between us, but it's not.
We don't go too well with Design because they hate Architecture people because we use every space of the Faculty to let our models and our materials and equipment, and that making they go madness with us, because we let everywhere so dirty that they can't work or share the same classroom with us. So the relations is very awful.
In the other side we have Geography, and none in the FAU knows what they really do, even them don't really know, so it's like a spectre that is not too important for the Architecture people and Design people because we used to see them like "good-for-nothing people" and its is a prejudice that almost everyone in my career are agree with. I'm not, but a long time ago i asked to a Geography what they do, and she tell me "I don't know! i don't even know what i'm going to do when I graduated, or where i'm going to work" so that confirm me the prejudice.
So here is the problems, there is not enough space for everyone in the campus, everyone have a little space to work and to do things, and the computers some times are not enough, even there aren't enough teachers to every subject and FAU the next year will increase the enrolment number at least in Architecture in 70 slots and this will colapse. The other problem is we like the three careers don't get too well, so when the curriculum map changed a two years ago there appear a new subject that are called "Transversales" that mean the three careers will be involve in one class, but it's doesn't work until now because they aren't too well planed, so everyone still with the same persons of their careers or with a lot of Architect just only one guy of Geography, and even, Design doesn't change their curriculum map so they still doesn't have class with us, and that is another point why this doesn't work at all.

Put a new class like transversal, it´s a really bad idea.
ReplyDeleteI think that a solution would be create specialized areas for each career, and specialized share areas for the careers.
