Some of the most well-known buildings in the São Paulo landscape and in major metropolises around the world bear his signature, even if few can precisely define his architectural style. This difficulty, far from being a problem, is part of the enigma and strength of Isay Weinfeld, a creator whose work escapes easy labels and defies rigid classifications. However, reducing him solely to architecture would be a mistake. Over five decades of intense and coherent production, the São Paulo-based architect has built a trajectory that traverses design, visual arts, and cinema with rare fluidity. These multiple fronts of activity will be brought together in Etcétera, the most comprehensive exhibition dedicated to his career, which will occupy the Instituto Tomie Ohtake from March 5 to May 17.

The Latin American Master’s in Architecture and the Doctorate in Architecture and Urbanism at the University of Bío-Bío invite you to a tour of three projects designed by Smiljan Radic (and collaborators), recently awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize. The tour will include the Civic District of Concepción (2001), the Boca Sur Center (2008), and the Bío-Bío Theater (2011)—three projects awarded through public competitions that feature unique architecture and have become significant urban connectors.

The activity is free of charge and includes local transportation and time for lunch, as well as an interior tour of the Bío-Bío Theater (organized by the TBB Corporation). Space is limited.
Contemporary cities are increasingly facing challenges related to urban loneliness, social fragmentation, and the loss of meaningful spaces for connection. Lima is no exception.
