FAU - Cris Barra

The sport that I've practiced (Archery) gave me so many chances in my professional and personal life, without the Archery those chances could be never happened, mainly by my economical situation. One of them was my first and only trip (for the moment) to Europe, specifically to Germany and Turkey, I was very excited for this trip, I went to compete at the Stage 2 of the Archery World Cup at Antalya, Turkey, but I've arrived one week earlier to Berlin, Germany to prepare the competition and take some time to get used to the "jet lag", because we had 6 hours of difference with Santiago. At the beginning of the trip, I was too tired because we flown nearly 24 hours from Santiago to Berlin, when we arrived I've received a big surprise, my uncle, aunt and cousins was waiting for me and for our team to carry us to the hotel where we stayed until the second part of the trip to Turkey. In Berlin, we trained so hard for the preparation for the Championship that wil...

Since I was a child, I had a close relationship with the technology, my father (he was working at the Ministry of Education) made an experiemnt with a new software to learn to read called "Abrapalabra", with that software I've learned to read at 3 years old, that was the beginning of my relationship, but mainly with my computer, that device is a fundamental part of my professional development, specially because that device helped me to get all my knowledges and skills in so many areas as architecture and sports, I've never had a Personal Computer of my property until 2014. One of the most important skill that I've get was learning to use the program "Sketchup" since 2007, that was one of the main inspirations to make the decision to study architecture, this progran helped me to make various works in Taller and some payed works that helped me to finally get my current PC in 2014. As you can see the PC is my favourite piece of technology because h...

Honestly I can say that my passion for the Architecture have started since I was 5 years old, I've ever liked the building and it shapes, and I was thinking about the creation of them, the thing that boosted this passion was a set of Lego that my mom gave to me in my childhood, but she was affraid about this passion, because when she was applying for the university she wanted to study Architecture, but by external pression she was forced to resign and study other Program, by that experience she told me about that fears and convinced me to study another thing, that happened when I was 12 years old. In that time I've thought to study laws, but I wasn't really sure to study that program but my familly made pression to do that, finally looking for my tastes and my creations I've switched my opinion about my future and I've came back to my wish to study Architecture, I talked with my mom about my final decision, I've said that it's my future, not the future of ...
