Fau as a social center

Hi guys, how are you?

Today I’m going to talk about my study program at FAU

The architecture curriculum in FAU only has three years, so still has a lot of problems. For example the teachers of the same subject teach different stuff, that is because some teachers teach us stuff of the old curriculum. That produce to us difficult in the next course.

If you reprove a subject, sometimes you can’t take another courses which are in a totally different line, for example if you reprove “Morfología, diseño y materialización (structure)” you can’t take “Problemas de la arquitectura moderna (History)”. That is because the academic offer is very poor, that only has one schedule for each subject.

The workload is too big, it is common to see people who hasn’t sleep in more than twenty four  hours and sometime teachers don’t care

FAU have a big infrastructure problems, the building are in precarious situation. The free digital laboratory is on the last floor so in winter the rain become inside getting wet the computers, which is very dangerous. The roof in some building are in bad situation, is falling down! A dead pigeon was hung of the roof about two months, the authorities only clean that when RIBA come to here to evaluate for the accreditation.

In FAU there is no space work, the “pecera” is always collapsed of people, and honestly is a very small place to work and classrooms are close when they are in not use.
