I studied architecture because I thought (and nowadays I also think) that it represents everything I love like arts, history, physics and a kind of cultural knowledge. This architectural degree offered mainly technical education, giving special importance to structural and constructive aspects, along with important artistic and philosophical approach.
After my bachelor degree, I worked in several places managing different duties. I had good salary along with good conditions, but I thought it was not sufficient for me. So, I enrolled into a Master’s degree “Masters of Restoration and Conservation of the Architectural Heritage”, and there I discovered that this was my field of interest.
After finishing my master’s, I thought of studying more about the subject; so I enrolled into another master’s degree related to structural analysis. And I was successful in enrolling into “Advanced masters of structural analysis on Historical Monuments and Conservation”. This master is focused for civil engineers and architects, so the effort that I have to put in here is more compared to my previous degree. Even though my background is not sufficient for some of the subjects, I am successful in understanding the subject as an Architect. After this year I am going to have very good formation for my future projects. I personally think that I have acquired much information about the subjects, which makes me feel more complete and confident.
