This is what I was searching for; no competitiveness (bad one), just enjoying the intense process, learning from very different countries and workflows, and clarifying what I want for my future after some years of professional experience.
The value of Collective Housing lies on its capacity to conform the city, it can be donor of its identity.
The MAS in Collective Housing is a sum of very diverse perspectives about housing, and what we amass with a group of them and between them.
After attending lectures on housing at GSD Harvard, MIT, etc. I still consider that the MCH at ETSAM provides the best comprehensive educational framework regarding the multifamily dwelling.
The master's degree is simply extraordinary and I think it has changed the lives of each and every one of the students who have gone through its more than ten editions.
This high pressure environment generates a great torrent and flow of ideas to be developed during your professional life beyond the MCH.
Professionally, the MCH has allowed me, at a very young age, to develop and build a city planning & housing project where I could apply everything learnt during my training.
"The universal importance of housing to individuals and its impact on human security and development were the driving factors behind my interest in enrolling in the MCH program. My aim was to deepen my knowledge in the field of collective housing. I wanted to acquire the adequate tools allowing me to make a difference in my society where change is possible."
The masters propelled my career and increased my quality of life.
Learning to go beyond what seems to be common in a house, getting rid of stereotypes and being responsible with society and the environment, are reaffirmed principles in each module and put into practice in every international workshop from different perspectives.
I got deep into diverse subjects regarding collective housing, energy and cities and I became a great team player, working in fast-paced and deadline-driven environments, but mostly getting to know myself, my weaknesses and strengths on a deeper level.
The Master of Architecture in Collective Housing is an intense and enriching experience, a turning point for any professional who wants to incorporate new ways of thinking, methodologies and knowledge, not only related to the field of collective housing, but also to architecture itself.
