SurSur Seminar in Concepción

Rene Submissions — Sat, 04 Jul 2026 19:50:00 +0000

This seminar is positioned in the South, looking toward the South. It approaches the subject not only through the lens of architects but also through those of a biologist, a sculptor, and a documentarian. Together, they propose methodologies, approaches, processes, and discussions surrounding what is "available," while maintaining a global perspective. This allows us to discuss what it means to study architecture at a school in the southern part of the world, exploring concepts such as territory and landscape, material, precariousness, culture, craftsmanship, and remote locations, among others.
