Located opposite what is now Parque O’Higgins, the complex designed by the firm Bresciani Valdés Castillo Huidobro (BVCH) in 1952 is one of the most important models of state-sponsored social housing in Chile. It successfully integrates into the urban fabric, responds appropriately to the varying scales of the project—both the block and the individual apartment—and, above all, results in a work that has been deeply understood and embraced by its residents.

On August 4, Chile celebrates National Architects Day, commemorating the enactment of Law 7.211, which established the Colegio de Arquitectos de Chile on that same day in 1942. For this 76th anniversary, the professional association will present its traditional CA Awards to those who have excelled in various fields of architecture.

The Colegio de Arquitectos de Chile Awards (CA Awards) are among the most prestigious honors for architects in Chile, recognizing eleven individuals for their excellence, work, and contributions to the field.
