In a territory where the horizon is often hemmed in by smokestacks, fisheries, and high-voltage towers, a question arises that challenges the logic of extractivism and what is commonly understood as "development": From where can we begin to dream again? Guided by this premise, visual artist Constanza Hermosilla and architect Julio Suárez present their interdisciplinary artistic project: "Detrás de las industrias se esconde el sol" (Behind the Industries, the Sun Hides), an experimental documentary that subverts the narrative of the "sacrifice zone" to propose a speculative exercise through fiction.
Emotional Archive: The Intriguing MAC Exhibition That Records Disappointment. An uncomfortable—and deeply human—question runs through the new exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art: what happens to what disappoints us? Is it forgotten, transformed, or can it be recorded?
The Faculty of Architecture, Design and Digital Arts (FADAD) at Universidad Gabriela Mistral invites you to attend the keynote lecture "New York, New Publics" by Martino Stierli on Tuesday, April 14, at 5:30 PM.
The Latin American Master’s in Architecture and the Doctorate in Architecture and Urbanism at the University of Bío-Bío invite you to a tour of three projects designed by Smiljan Radic (and collaborators), recently awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize. The tour will include the Civic District of Concepción (2001), the Boca Sur Center (2008), and the Bío-Bío Theater (2011)—three projects awarded through public competitions that feature unique architecture and have become significant urban connectors. The tour will begin at the University of Bío-Bío’s Concepción Campus (Avda. Collao 1202), subject to prior registration via form and email confirmation. The event is intended primarily for architects interested in advanced studies. The activity is free of charge and includes local transportation and time for lunch, as well as an interior tour of the Bío-Bío Theater (organized by the TBB Corporation). Space is limited.
As part of the academic dialogue and reflection space "From Territory to Detail," which brings together architecture professors, students, and renowned architects, the spin-off "From Territory to Detail .re"—positioned at the opposite end of a modern paradigm that defined the city through models of growth, expansion, and consumption that are no longer viable or sustainable—explores the thesis that a territory’s richness stems from its capacity to renew itself. It activates disused spaces to serve as future challenges and resources by reusing previous structures and traces, whatever they may be.
