As part of the FUGAZ Greater Concepción Urban Interventions Festival, a team comprising Álvaro Parraguez, Beatriz Harriet, Bárbara Schumacher, Josefa Acevedo, and Luis Cambiaso developed an installation at the Villarrica coastal resort in Dichato (Concepción, Chile) that won the 2022 Ephemeral Installations Competition. The competition called for an ephemeral installation to serve as a functional venue for the festival, accommodating various daytime performances and activities across dance, theater, music, and other disciplines.

The “Concepción Modern Architecture Guide-Map”—created by Dr. Verónica Esparza, PhD in Theory and History of Architecture from Universidad San Sebastián, alongside Universidad del Bío-Bío architects Patricio Escobar (graphic designer of the Guide-Map) and Cristóbal Caro (photographer)—was made possible with the support of the Municipality of Concepción through the 2017 Municipal Cultural Initiatives Fund (FAICC). It features a selection of 30 works, aiming to recognize and highlight iconic examples of local Modern Architecture. The initiative raises awareness about the importance of preserving this living heritage, which is often undervalued due to its relative recency. This Guide-Map is designed as an educational tool to foster recognition of a heritage deeply embedded in the daily lives of the city's residents.

Cristóbal Caro presents a photographic exhibition titled "Chairs: Micro-Architecture in Public Space," which seeks to link objects scattered throughout the urban fabric with the implicit symbols and traces they hold.
