"A Thicket and a Palm at a Street" is an installation conceived in collaboration with the Berlin-based practice Something Fantastic that proposes pausing to consider what already exists. Through a specific framing, the work transforms a familiar landscape into something strange, inviting us to reflect on how we relate to the environment we inhabit.

What are the cities we want to live in like? How can we build them through participation? And how do we foster community and social cohesion among citizens? These are the questions being asked by those in charge of territorial planning in the country, and they will be discussed at the "City and Constitution" panel discussion, organized by the Universidad Finis Terrae School of Architecture, which will take place on Wednesday, September 29, at 7:30 PM (Chile time) via Zoom.

Following the damning report published by the IPCC in mid-2021, the message is clear: there is no longer a way to reverse climate change. The notion that humanity would manage to get away with it—depleting and overexploiting the Earth without suffering the consequences—has proven to be mistaken. The model of development and growth that has governed us for at least two centuries must be rethought from its roots if we are to continue our life on this planet. Therefore, in 2022, we have no choice but to question our actions to date. With the goal of pushing thought toward undoing what we have been doing wrong, the three issues of ARQ magazine next year will be dedicated to different ways of rethinking our relationship with the environment: "Decolonize" (ARQ 110), "Degrow" (ARQ 111), and "Deconstruct" (ARQ 112).
