Originating as protection against low temperatures around 3,500 years ago, carpets and rugs have, over time, evolved into a true art form, reaching a high level of specialization by the 16th century. Rugs, carpets, and tapestries of various shapes, colors, textures, and patterns are integrated into different areas of the home to meet users' needs and enhance spatial comfort, sometimes extending far beyond their original purpose.

PILOTO, Traveling Architecture Gallery showcases the work of young architects who stand out for exploring new production formats linked to art.

The works are presented through interventions in common spaces—such as bars, cafés, and community centers—located in various Chilean cities, with the goal of bringing the discipline closer to a wider audience.

The architects invited to participate in this first touring cycle hail from Concepción, Castro, Valdivia, and Santiago. Each faced the challenge of intervening in a space in a city other than their own, using a theme specific to the host city as the basis for their work, viewed through the lens of an outsider.
