The NGO La Reconquista Peatonal (LRP) seeks to highlight people's experiences in the city, particularly through walking. To this end, it collects walkers' experiences through mobile paper journals that individuals receive, complete, and return with observations, perceptions, and daily experiences in the city. This process has generated over a thousand journals containing diverse records and relevant information on the multiple relationships between people and their environments, highlighting subjective aspects often overlooked in the urban sphere, such as memory, identity, and affection.

Applications are now open for a specialized training program in the application of new design and additive construction technologies, particularly using cementitious mixtures for building. The program aims to leverage the potential of 3D printing in architecture, urban furniture, and infrastructure, drawing on the expertise and facilities of the Universidad del Bío-Bío, a leader in this field in Latin America.
Technical expertise is best discussed on the construction site!
‘Additive Manufacturing Shelf: Towards a New Architectural Language’ is an exhibition that compiles part of the applied research project on 3D concrete printing developed by Verónica Arcos since 2018. Three-dimensional printing with cementitious and clay materials allows for unprecedented formal freedom, ushering in a new architectural language.
The Faculty of Architecture and Design at Universidad Finis Terrae will launch the second issue of Revista Archipiélago, an academic publication that seeks to disseminate new knowledge related to various artistic disciplines. This issue focuses on "distance," a crucial theme for our times and for the fields of space and design, explored through three thematic axes: Design Critique, Design Processes, and Logbook.
The Research and Publications Department of the Faculty of Architecture and Design at Universidad Finis Terrae will host its second colloquium on Photography and Architecture. This edition's central theme will be "Photography and Landscape: The Revealed Image," featuring presentations by architects and academics Alejandra Bosch, Macarena Cortés, and Magdalena Sierra (Director of the Finis Terrae School of Architecture); photographer and educator Fernanda Larraín; and architect, photographer, and FAD Director of Research and Publications, Philippe Blanc.
Guided by architect and Universidad Finis Terrae professor Paula Velasco—one of the leads on the Palacio Pereira restoration project—the "Lastarria: Identity and Heritage" Urban Crossing will take place this Saturday, October 1st. This activity, organized by the School of Architecture, features a faculty-led walking tour that explores the cultural, urban, and historical significance of the neighborhood.
The Postgraduate and Continuing Education department of the Faculty of Architecture and Design at Universidad Finis Terrae is organizing the course "Tools for Architectural Research," taught by Fabián Barros, director of the Faculty's Advanced Research Laboratory, who holds a Master's degree in Project Didactics from the Universidad del Bío-Bío and a PhD in Advanced Architectural Projects from ETSAM.
