National-Personal Prize!



i really dont`t have an architecture idol. I believe that the most important, in architecture at less, is the work, one of one.
Sometimes someone can do a very good job, and I can be very representing with this job, but nobodies say that the next work can result better or worse.
On Chile, is very rude to be an architect, because money is never enough, and nobodies pay for a good idea, it`s hard in Chile that someone’s pays you for new things, for project that are unique, it`s hard to innovate.
On this contest, I always look for the thing that an architect do behind this rules, the Chilean rules. And I like to think that it`s not impossible to innovate, even in a country that think that the only good thing are makes in development countries, and we only have to import the ideas and adapted to our contest.

I have good affinity with two big architect and his works. This two architect, casually have my same last name, it’s strange, but truth.
The first was teacher in this Uni, and unfortunately today rest on peace. Alberto Sartori Hevia . He was a great man, who have a very strange capacity to teach, was a very motivate, and all his students can say the same thing, that Sartori was an incredible man, with great humor sense.

About his work, I don’t have too much to say, but he had have incredible works, during more than 50 years, and his job speak for itself.

The other Architect is Guillermo Hevia, he is great contemporary architect, how put under discuss the energetic sustainability in the field of national architecture.
Today he centers his career under the industrial architect, working in Chile and Latin-American to. He put on the table practical solution that makes the energetic sustainability a very good business, so people are interested. Unfortunately the private sector only care about money and business, today is difficult that someone think in bigger thing. But Guillermo Hevia makes this possible, when he found the relation between business and energy.
In picture I show you one of the most important works of Guillermo Hevia.

Is not out of contest to remember that these two big architects studies on this University. It`s something good to think, when we project our careers.
Bye.
