Arquitectura y ciudad moderna en el sur de Chile. Memoria, territorio y proyecto is a book that originated from the "Surmoderno" seminar, "Valoración del Patrimonio Moderno en el Sur de Chile," held in Concepción in 2015. Two years later, following extensive editorial work, this volume was published to share and disseminate knowledge and reflections on the modern architecture developed in cities such as Chillán, Concepción, Talcahuano, Lota, Nacimiento, Osorno, and Punta Arenas—all of which exemplify the widespread development of this architectural style in the country.
In southern Chile, modernity manifested in multiple ways, at various scales, and under specific circumstances that reflect sociocultural, economic, and political shifts. Consequently, the region possesses a rich urban and architectural heritage that is increasingly becoming a subject of study and analysis.
