Alejandro Crispiani—Full Professor at the UC School of Architecture, architect, and PhD in Human and Social Sciences from the University of Quilmes, Argentina—explores the socio-cultural role of architecture in the wake of the February 2010 earthquake in Chile in La arquitectura y su reverso. Meanwhile, in Hacer sin esperanza, he examines the legacy and cultural production of the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso School of Architecture through the lens of the "poetic act."
