The studio, led by Anadis González and Fernando Martirena, addresses various conflicts and challenges in its daily practice, including job insecurity in a context where private architecture is illegal.

El tabique-adobillo es una técnica constructiva mixta de madera y tierra, una de las más utilizadas en la construcción de inmuebles en Valparaíso desde el siglo XIX al XX, que se proyecta como una alternativa completamente viable para nuestros días. Hoy en Chile, con manejo forestal y con acceso a suelos para la fabricación de los adobillos, resulta ser una buena respuesta constructiva, de origen natural, térmica, de bajo impacto ambiental, que ya ha demostrado un buen comportamiento ante sismos gracias a la flexibilidad de sus estructuras de madera.
The theme for this year's 15th Architecture Congress is Bioarchitecture: "A Natural Approach." This event is organized by students from the Faculty of Architecture who aim to promote knowledge of the architecture being produced both locally and globally.
Bioarchitecture focuses on creating healthy spaces using materials that do not harm the environment and can be integrated into the natural context. This approach requires a balance between construction, the natural environment, and society, while fostering an awareness that architecture must be grounded in natural principles.
You are cordially invited!

Artistic calendars have long been a fixture of global culture. From the most celebrated examples, such as those produced by Pirelli, to the Vatican’s own editions, they have consistently served as a medium for presenting art beyond the confines of museums and galleries. Building on this tradition, photographer Ed Beltrão announces the launch of his latest visual project, the Bahia, ensaio sutil [Bahia, a Subtle Essay] calendar. Following the success of his 2021 book, Temperança, Beltrão once again captivates audiences with a collection of images that uniquely capture the essence of Bahia.
