The theme of this discussion is urban mobility, posing the fundamental question: where are we headed?
The event aims to foster cross-disciplinary dialogue among law, architecture, engineering, and sociology, as well as between the public, policymakers, and academia.
On Tuesday, August 21, at 12:30 p.m., the School of Architecture at Universidad Finis Terrae will present the book "Hotel Pirehueico, un osado proyecto en el fin del mundo," by architect Juan Luis Martínez Nahuel, published by Ediciones Universidad Finis Terrae.
An architect involved in software development, an architect behind the transformation of the Persa Víctor Manuel flea market, an architect in the editorial field, and an architect exploring ephemeral infrastructures will be the guests for the first session of the X FORMAS DE HACER ARQUITECTURA project, taking place in the heart of Santiago on Thursday, August 30, at 7:00 PM at AriztiaLAB.
The project is defined as a space for contemporary architecture and sculpture, open to research and the critical practice of these disciplines within the city. It is located in a warehouse complex totaling 4,500 square meters, originally built for textile manufacturing workshops and wooden furniture production.
The structure consists of reinforced masonry walls with curved metal roofing—featuring columns and trusses—in one block, and gabled wooden roofing—featuring columns and oak trusses—in the other.
“Cerros Isla de Santiago: Constructing a New Urban Imaginary Through Its Geography” is a publication for documentation and dissemination that seeks to raise awareness and highlight the natural and cultural heritage of the valley present in Santiago's 26 island hills. The book develops a dual narrative—one visual and one written—in which two photographers and seven academics and professionals explore the subject of the island hills from their respective fields of expertise. The book also includes fact sheets for each of the 26 island hills, compiling the survey and documentation work carried out by the Cerros Isla Foundation.
“Markets: Informality, Diversity, and Heritage Around the Mapocho River” is the next Atravieso Urbano hosted by the Universidad Finis Terrae School of Architecture. These thematic tours of Santiago are led by faculty architects from the institution and are open to the public.
Book launch: "Emilio Duhart. Elaboración de un espacio urbano moderno: Ciudad Universitaria de Concepción" by Cristian Berríos.
Chilean architect Emilio Duhart (1917–2006) and the University of Concepción (founded in 1919) have been inextricably linked since 1957, when Duhart began a ten-year tenure leading the expansion project for the university campus in Concepción.
As the Mujer ArquitectA team, we are committed to highlighting not only the role of women in architecture but also the importance of innovation.
DESCRIPTION
In October 2016, the School of Architecture at Universidad San Sebastián launched the first in a series of inter-school workshops aimed at fostering critical discussion in architecture, using the project as a vector. This inaugural experience, led by the prominent Spanish architect and academic Juan Herreros, is captured in this publication. It documents the productive week of work shared by the participants—ten national architecture schools and one international school—alongside Herreros, as they designed various proposals seeking a critical and contemporary approach to the issue of residential infrastructure in the La Vega sector of Santiago, Chile.
The new Diploma in Landscape Design: "Strategies for the Integrated Design of Urban and Rural Landscapes in the Southern Austral Region" is now accepting applications for the second semester of 2018.
How can one intervene in a neutral space to create a place that evokes emotion? In what way does an ethereal material like light generate meaning? Art installations—understood as contemporary practices of spatial transformation—seek to place the viewer within a system of new aesthetic and symbolic experiences. Light Art is a field of art that explores the capacity of light as a material for creative expression, both experimentally and theoretically.
The Andes Workshop is a collaborative workshop for students and faculty from around the world. Founded in 2017, it will once again be led by Chilean architects Cazú Zegers + Grupo Talca, Rodrigo Sheward, and Martin del Solar.
