As part of the preparatory activities for TELÚRICO, the 1st Chilean Bioconstruction Festival, the second workshop in an annual series of practical and theoretical sessions will be held. The workshop will focus on design and construction using coligüe (Chilean solid bamboo), incorporating a theoretical introduction to the material's properties, followed by a practical course involving the construction of a large-scale entrance portal for the citadel, which will serve as the festival's main exhibit.

The international call for proposals aims to find an architecture office to design the new Las Salinas Urban Park (Parque Urbano Las Salinas), a beach-side complex in the city of Viña Del Mar, Chile. The project seeks to transform the area into a multifunctional green space for the future neighborhood with a high standard for its residents. The objective is to project a large park which will become an important integration project for the city: an open space for public use and accessible for everyone - a place for social, cultural, sporting and educational gatherings.
