This Saturday, January 21, at 8:00 PM, a debate will take place between Pritzker Prize-winning architect Alejandro Aravena and Mauricio Soria, Mayor of Iquique, as part of the XXII Biennial of Architecture and Urbanism of Chile: 'Vulnerable Habitats.' The event will be held in the inflatable structure designed by Smiljan Radic and Nicolás Schmidt, currently located in Plaza Bulnes, Santiago.
Alejandro Aravena is a Chilean architect, an academic at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, and a visiting professor at Harvard University. He has led ELEMENTAL since 2001 and was the 2016 Pritzker Prize laureate. His work focuses on public interest and social impact infrastructure, both in Chile and abroad. His basic housing project stands out, as it allows families to expand their residences according to their individual means and economic capacity.
