The first of September, releases, novelties and releases: new case and notebook, first meeting with the members of the group for the courses and/or activities to which it is appointed, a wide range of activities in the advertising pages where you can complete the course agenda, composing your own. For the teacher, a new generation of students between the eyes and hands. In the first class of the course we are quoted as a blind date. In the clash between strangers, a nervous emotion spreads through the body, an irrefutable question about what the next season will look like, the moment the fears for insecurity germinate.
To name these first faces, in the list of names of the Basque class of the public architecture university of San Sebastian, I have seen that few names of Catholic origin (Maria, Jesús, Dolores, Begoñarik ez), always the classics Ane and Jon, and check that the generation of words and names of natural origin has not yet come. Primacy of the names of the Basque Nomenclature. The two names tend to look, one because it combines June and Chen and the other because it has a sound of other languages. As for surnames, those of Spanish and Basque origin are in equal numbers and there are no European, African, Slavic or Asian writings. In the class there are no names, names or faces of Latin America; only one black and two Asian. Otherwise, whiteness and feminine names predominate. We have asked them to listen aloud to class alignments, telling others the name they feel comfortable.
The X-ray shown here may not be one of the most representative samples of the Basque territory, and it is not a matter of drawing hasty conclusions. But I was surprised how the diversity observed in the institutes and bars of youth does not reach the architecture class, questioning that the architecture profession still maintains in society the signs of the “elite” brand.
