The Pacífico, Huérfanos, and España galleries are among the more than fifteen that will make up the "Foundational Center Gallery System" tour, led by architect and Universidad Finis Terrae School of Architecture professor Víctor Villalobos. This event is open to the public and will take place on Monday, April 18, at 3:00 PM. The meeting point will be the rear entrance of the National Library (Moneda Street).

This activity is part of the Atravieso Urbano (Urban Traverse) series, organized by the same institution, which includes four walking tours through different sectors of the capital during the first semester of 2022. Each tour is led by an architect and architecture professor who discusses the history and heritage value of each location.

Marking the 10th anniversary of the Young Architects Program in association with MoMA New York, Chile will host the International Young Architects Festival (YAF_CONSTRUCTO) this year, featuring prominent emerging voices in international architecture and design, as well as distinguished curators.

AceroLAB's mission is to drive innovation in steel through multisectoral development, connecting the public, private, and academic sectors. It approaches design at all scales, with a focus on quality of life, sustainability, and the productivity of buildings and public works in Chile.

Join us for the lecture: Alberto Cruz, Work and Archive. The talk will be presented by Sara Browne Cruz, historian, holder of a master's degree in history and cultural heritage management, and current executive director of the Alberto Cruz Covarrubias Foundation.

The urban scope of the territorial and cultural confrontations between the United States and the Soviet Union extends beyond the well-known post-war reconstructions of Europe, reaching across countries in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Through plans, maps, and microhistories, the exhibition explores the role of architecture and urban design in the more than 500 projects—led by Robert McNamara—that the World Bank financed between 1972 and 1985 in 136 cities of what was then known as the "Third World." This war on poverty sought to halt the advance of communism and expand the geopolitical frontiers of the First World into developing countries, this time through an economic growth agenda that instrumentalized urban housing.
