Blog 7: A Career-Related Website OR an Expert in my Field

Hello everyone, I hope you are feeling well 😊 . Today I will talk about two websites that are quite used in my career:

The first website I am going to talk about is ¨Plataforma Arquitectura¨ (https://www.plataformaarquitectura.cl/cl), this is a chilean website that contains a big database related to architecture. You can find a lot of useful information, such as architecture projects, news, architecture competitions, architects, referents, projection tools and even products, materials and new technologies in construction, among others.

It is a very popular website for architecture students as it is one of the most complete websites in this area and it is constantly updated. I personally visit it almost weekly to look for information about projects that we have to analyse or to look for inspiration to design my own projects. It is very practical and very useful.

The other website I am going to talk about is ¨Bibliocad¨ (https://www.bibliocad.com/), it is a virtual library of CAD and BIM files, one of the largest in the Spanish-speaking world. It is a database that is of great support to us in the professional field, as it allows us to download and exchange AutoCAD blocks and 2D and 3D BIM objects applicable in design and construction industry. 

I use this website mainly when I need urban plans or furniture blocks, in general it is one of the first places to consult when I need this kind of documents. I don't visit it as often, but it is a great resource when it comes to planning.

I like these websites because they are a great help for architects and architecture students. They are born from a great initiative of collective work and mutual help between people who develop in this area. I love to think that we are all a great team trying to make a better world 😊.
