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.
"ENERGY THINKING" is a space designed to bring together disciplines such as architecture, engineering, urban planning, and design, alongside business leaders. The goal is to establish dialogues, projects, and educational activities that promote greater knowledge and awareness of renewable energy in our country.
Drawing on the lessons of Albers, painter Lúcia Glaz demonstrates in her new series of paintings a desire to explore new perceptual phenomena, considering the expressive potential of color in its interaction with form. In the same vein as artists of the post-painterly generation (Robert Ryman, Agnes Martin, Brice Marden)—despite the generational gap—the painter tends to view painting as an object rather than an illusion, pursuing a purist reduction that was also the goal of the aforementioned artists as they stripped their canvas experiments down to the essentials.
The next edition of PENSARQ_ Charlas will take place on Saturday, August 25, at 12:00 PM, featuring architect and cultural manager Miriam Villaseñor as a guest speaker. Titled "Appropriating Space Through Inspiration," the talk will foster a collective reflection on the processes of occupying public space through inspiration and both personal and shared identity. The event will begin with a short tour starting at Parque del Refugio on Av. Federalismo, leading to a secret destination. As with all Pensarq_ events, this activity is free and open to the public.
As the Mujer ArquitectA team, we are committed to highlighting not only the role of women in architecture but also the importance of innovation.
DESCRIPTION
In October 2016, the School of Architecture at Universidad San Sebastián launched the first in a series of inter-school workshops aimed at fostering critical discussion in architecture, using the project as a vector. This inaugural experience, led by the prominent Spanish architect and academic Juan Herreros, is captured in this publication. It documents the productive week of work shared by the participants—ten national architecture schools and one international school—alongside Herreros, as they designed various proposals seeking a critical and contemporary approach to the issue of residential infrastructure in the La Vega sector of Santiago, Chile.
The new Diploma in Landscape Design: "Strategies for the Integrated Design of Urban and Rural Landscapes in the Southern Austral Region" is now accepting applications for the second semester of 2018.
