LEGO, The Toy That Built my Present Days

Imagen relacionadaAt Christmas of '97 when I was four years old I received the toy that maybe was the main inspiration to study Architecture, a set of LEGO bricks.

At first I've tried to make the houses that appears in the box, but was getting boring by the time, so I've started trying to replicate some landmarks of Santiago especially the ENTEL Tower, maybe one the most important landmark of Santiago in the late 90's, this figure was one of my most common recreations in LEGO.

By the time these creations has becoming to be better but at my teen ages, I changed the blocks for the modelling programs for computer as Sketchup, from these moment I've decided to make the big step and study architecture, because it was one of the engines that moves my life accompanied by the Archery, the Vexillology and the Olympic Games.

In 2013, the year when I've enteres at FAU, I've discoverde one LEGO set called "Architecture Studio" but I've discovered that is very expensive, two hunred thousand pesos!!, maybe in the future I'll spend these amount for the moment my priority is be an excellent professional in y area of knowledge.
