The Master of Architecture program at the University of Chile invites you to the lecture "Stadium: An Event, a Building, a City," to be delivered by Alejandra Celedón.

Over the last two decades, the discipline of landscape has been designated as a model and a medium for the contemporary city. During this time, a range of alternative architecture and urbanism practices have emerged throughout Latin America. Many of these practices explore the ecological and territorial implications of urban projects. The emergence of these practices has coincided with social and political transformations in the region.

Launched last year in Spain and presented internationally for the first time in Milan, Italy, during Milan Design Week, the Arquitetura em Curtas initiative is a series of short films on innovation and trends in contemporary architecture. Its goal: to promote video as a medium for narrating architectural processes.

The exhibition showcases social housing complexes in Latin America—specifically in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Mexico—built between the 1950s and 1970s, representing an important legacy of modernity. The extensive collection of photographs, drawings, graphics, and texts regarding the projects and works researched highlights their formal and functional characteristics, construction techniques, open spaces, and social facilities, as well as their integration into the urban fabric of their respective cities. Recognizing these aspects provides a counterpoint to current Brazilian social housing production and encourages a renewal of reflection and discussion on a topic that is undeniably of vital importance to society as a whole.

Given the structural shift in the housing deficit, the rise in shared households, the inability of a large portion of the population to acquire housing through the market, and the preference of families for well-located housing over better living conditions, it is necessary to move toward a complete reformulation of housing policies in Chile.
