Parque(ando) is an initiative that proposes a welcoming and participatory use of public space, in which citizens transform streets into small parks for one day through the use of furniture, art installations, cultural expressions, recreational activities, and more.
The project consists of a scientific event and a symposium involving Japanese and Chilean participants on a topic of mutual interest. Both Japan and Chile face significant natural disasters—such as climate change, earthquakes, and tsunamis—that profoundly impact their built environments, cities, urban planning, collective memory, and society. The project focuses on a specific case study: the 2010 earthquake and subsequent tsunami in the Greater Concepción area.

In their first solo photography exhibition, the artist presents 10 works that showcase, through their own perception, the visual re-signification of building facades in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Belo Horizonte. Contrasts of light and shadow create lines, shapes, and angles that appear as figures distinct from the photographed reality. The abstract result of this work establishes a connection with Brazilian modernism, particularly with the centenary of Athos Bulcão and their panels.

The event will take place from November 23 to 26 in Vitacura, at the Parque Arboleda Lo Curro project by Inmobiliaria Paz, a building designed by the renowned architecture firm Izquierdo Lehman.

As in the last two years, the fair will be divided into four sections, three of which (Focus, Planta, and Nave de Ediciones) will be curated. Together, these sections will feature works by more than 300 national and international artists.
Furthermore, the initiative will feature various talks organized by the Fava Foundation and Paz Corp, designed to serve as a platform for visibility and interaction for the artists participating in the tenth edition of the Ch.ACO Fair, as well as to provide an introduction to public art and architecture. A highlight is the presentation by National Prize winner Luis Izquierdo, the architect of the project hosting the fair, which is scheduled for Saturday the 24th at 4:00 PM.
Parque Arboleda Lo Curro, the center of the exhibition, is a modern and avant-garde project built on thick pillars that rise across four hectares of green space. The placement of the buildings was specifically designed to house a large central park, developed by the prominent landscape architect Juan Grimm—a space that inspires and gives its name to this project.

The objective of this course is to provide the theoretical and practical foundations of architectural photography. This ensures participants gain the essential principles needed to photograph their first project. In the second phase, participants will apply the knowledge they have acquired during a photo shoot of an assigned architectural project. Following the photo shoot, the process will continue with the editing of selected images, printing, and mounting, culminating in a photo exhibition at the "La Incubadora" space in Cumbaya. The goal is to provide workshop attendees with a comprehensive experience, covering everything from capturing images of a building to printing and mounting them for an exhibition.
José Rodrigues de MIRANDA (Maceió, 1907–Recife, 1985) was born into a humble family and lived in the suburbs of Recife when he was discovered in 1972 by collector Lucien Finkelstein. Finkelstein encouraged him to paint extensively and promoted his work globally, even introducing the artist to Anatole Jakovsky, a leading authority on primitive art and author of the "Dictionary of Naïve Painters of the World."

The new issue of Materia Arquitectura magazine, an editorial project by the Faculty of Architecture, Art, and Design at Universidad San Sebastián directed by Mario Marchant, centers on one of architecture's fundamental subjects: theory. This issue invites readers to reflect on the role of theory, arguing that architectural magazines are the space where it is put to the test.
These courses cover a wide range of topics—such as dance, gender, diagrams, sustainability, history, and geoprocessing—all of which are articulated through the lens of architecture and the city. Registration is open until August 10.
