The Pacífico, Huérfanos, and España galleries are among the more than fifteen that will make up the "Foundational Center Gallery System" tour, led by architect and Universidad Finis Terrae School of Architecture professor Víctor Villalobos. This event is open to the public and will take place on Monday, April 18, at 3:00 PM. The meeting point will be the rear entrance of the National Library (Moneda Street).
This activity is part of the Atravieso Urbano (Urban Traverse) series, organized by the same institution, which includes four walking tours through different sectors of the capital during the first semester of 2022. Each tour is led by an architect and architecture professor who discusses the history and heritage value of each location.
"Since 2016, our School of Architecture has been conducting these Urban Traverses as part of our field-based learning. We have explored the history and architecture of areas such as La Chimba, the Central Market, Santa Lucía Hill, and the San Miguel Open-Air Museum, among others. It began as an academic exercise for our students, but over time it has expanded, attracting interest from people who are not involved in architecture but are simply interested in learning about the value of their city," says Magdalena Sierra, director of the School of Architecture at Universidad Finis Terrae.
