This biographical publication functions as both a project catalog and a personal archive.

“Cerros Isla de Santiago: Constructing a New Urban Imaginary Through Its Geography” is a publication for documentation and dissemination that seeks to raise awareness and highlight the natural and cultural heritage of the valley present in Santiago's 26 island hills. The book develops a dual narrative—one visual and one written—in which two photographers and seven academics and professionals explore the subject of the island hills from their respective fields of expertise. The book also includes fact sheets for each of the 26 island hills, compiling the survey and documentation work carried out by the Cerros Isla Foundation.

As part of the 4th edition of the Arq Film Fest, the exhibition "The Image of the Architect" will be held in the south corridor of the historic building, presented by Luis Miguel Arana—KLAUS, a special guest of the event.

Book launch: "Emilio Duhart. Elaboración de un espacio urbano moderno: Ciudad Universitaria de Concepción" by Cristian Berríos.

Chilean architect Emilio Duhart (1917–2006) and the University of Concepción (founded in 1919) have been inextricably linked since 1957, when Duhart began a ten-year tenure leading the expansion project for the university campus in Concepción.

Artist and social architect Santiago Cirugeda will build a house suspended in mid-air inside Nave 11, developing its full artistic potential by inviting creators—Llorenç Barber and Montserrat Palacios, Ignacio Marín Bocanegra, Vértebro, and Los Bárbaros—as well as spectators, to live in and experience it. Once its time at Naves Matadero concludes, the house will be rebuilt by members of the Network of Feminist Women for Gender Equity in Development; the Amalgama Association, a group of Latin American women fighting against gender-based violence; and the Dinamia Cooperative and Trabe Foundation, both of which specialize in integration processes.
