Once again I think I should write something about my academic experience in this Exchange, that nobody (ever would) ask.
This Monday is final review and I fell myself, as usual, poorly. However, this time I feel myself poorer than ever. I have no enthusiastic about doing the requirements for this project. You see, I am really into my concept and I would like to be more involved with it, but the way that the course was designed lead me into reject it.
Now I value my university the most. MY university, in Brazil (the damn right spell is BRASIL), my USP. Doing non actually architecture stuff and being treated like a child, almost turned into a slave for doing, producing… is ridiculously non passionate. It kills the good in doing architecture and neglects the most beautiful reason why I do it: to create spaces for people.
Until now, I really tried to dedicate myself between living distant for the university (NTU choice), taking care of my survival and the other modules. Of course, I had no return. I wonder until when this is about my capabilities. Once again, the slaves of production are required to do several things for submission and just TWO of them are really architecture. Among doing a model and drawings representations we need to do USELESS sketchbooks, searching, site analysis… Things that of course should exist, and are ALWAYS part of doing a good project, but are treated with more importance than the project itself. And I really do not want to talk about a “development panel” and this blog.
Besides being treated like I child, I have the gift for being a NON UK. I had the great feeling to hear that “Brazilians only want to travel” and to treated as a monkey who came here “to finally learn” architecture by the hands of gods as Ferada and Govin. Well, I have a previously and the most valuable education WHICH is going to guide me into an architect. But thank you for not asking. For not being a little bit prepared to deal with me, an international student that is here to EXCHANGE knowledge.
