Today, more than half of the world's population lives in urban areas, a process of sustained growth that has persisted in cities and materialized through their expansion. This phenomenon is expected to intensify in the coming years due to several factors, including the concentration of capital, services, facilities, and infrastructure, which has fostered the perception of the city as a place of «opportunity».

Méndez Labbé transitioned to painting after training as an architect, at a time when the arts and architecture in Chile were navigating a complex period of integration into the modern art debate.
Living Without a Bathroom: Módulo Sanitario and a Multidimensional Need for 6 Million Argentines
Between 1950 and 1970, the Chilean state undertook a national modernization process for its institutions, establishing the state's responsibility to clearly improve the living conditions of its population. Consequently, the Housing Corporation (CORVI, 1953–1976) was established in 1953. Through this body, the state spearheaded the implementation of the Chilean Housing Plan (1959), concretely positioning the construction of housing and the city as a catalyst for social change.
The house has evolved from an individual concern into the built element with the greatest impact on the planet. In this study, Fernanda Canales analyzes the evolution of this space over the last two centuries through projects, exhibitions, and books that have transformed ways of living toward a collective understanding of housing.
In almost every civilization, the garden, much like paradise, has always been an enclosed space—a landscape factory designed to project and embody ideals of life. However, in the 20th century, the garden transcended its enclosure, giving way to ecology and, with it, a different form of boundary. The garden shifted in scale, becoming planetary.
“The desert has enslaved me, and I am happy to say that I am still astonished to find that this is so,” writes Reyner Banham in this book, one of the last he wrote during his lifetime, not in his usual role as an architectural historian, but as a “desert fanatic”—a visitor intrigued and bewildered by the arid lands of the American Southwest.
