República Portátil is a creative architecture and design company founded by Universidad del Biobío (Concepción) architecture graduates Luis Felipe Maureira, Julio Suarez, and Valentina Torres, alongside industrial designer Andrés Moreno and publicist Cristina Vergara. In this interview, they discuss the origins of República Portátil, when its members, then university students, gathered to generate spatial experiences designed to disrupt the everyday and transform urban environments:
This approach, heavily inspired by the ideas of the Situationist movement, is reflected in works such as Pabellón Deshabitado, Pabellón Difuso, and Pabellón FAV (Valparaíso Festival of the Arts). Through these projects, República Portátil presents an innovative and sustainable vision that questions how we inhabit public space, focusing on its temporality. Through demountable architecture, they highlight the significance of territory and the activities that unfold within it over time, designed to engage all of the spectator's senses.
Through March 10, Chilean architect Pilar Pinchart presents her exhibition “Sección” at Galería PanAm.
The exhibition is divided into two parts showcasing the interests that have shaped Pinchart's work over the last ten years, synthesized in a conceptual installation on high-rise housing.
The first part of the exhibition features a study of Le Corbusier's 1992 sketch for the City of Three Million Inhabitants, understood as the section of an envisioned city—the starting point for the exhibition #100andesfrommywindow, presented in Aarhus, Denmark, in May 2017. It comprises 15 pop-up models and fragments of balcony facades built in Santiago, Chile, between 1940 and 2015, which show the evolution from the balcony to the terrace and to the concept of the high-rise garden. This gives rise to the centerpiece of the exhibition, a complex installation displaying five built structures designed to be read through the information provided by their sections in relation to vegetation and use.
