Un siglo de planificación urbano-regional en Chile
Catalina Marshall
Although often treated as separate, the processes of urban-regional planning and administrative decentralization have intersected at key moments in Chilean history. Institutions, reforms, and even changes in the structure and nature of governments have played significant roles in shaping the dual narrative that has defined the country’s political and territorial organization. This book examines the development of these processes between 1925 and 2014, with a particular focus on their points of intersection —or lack thereof.
Arquitectura en el Chile del s.XX. Tomo III: Los frutos modernos y su crisis 1950 - 1980
Fernando Pérez Oyarzun
Los frutos modernos y su crisis, 1950-1980 is the third volume in the series Arquitectura en el Chile del siglo XX by architect, academic, and researcher Fernando Pérez Oyarzun. The period under consideration corresponds to the decades following World War II, experienced in Chile as a reflection of the European post-war reconstruction years and the emergence of a new world order marked by the dominance of the United States and the Cold War.

Composición centralizada. Ensayos en torno a ocho casas de madera
Cristián Izquierdo
The detailed examination of the eight houses included in this book allows the author to articulate a carefully reasoned stance on architectural design. Composición centralizada intertwines theory and practice, offering a critical reflection on central concepts of the discipline. Through essays and projects, the book delves into the creative process of the centralized floorplan, tracing its historical significance in architecture while developing a theory on its compositional principles and the expressive potential of its elements and relationships. Here, architecture emerges as a field of both technical precision and profound expressiveness, where the intimate and the collective are constantly negotiated.
Modern Futures: Sustainable development and cultural diversity
Horacio Torrent (ed.)
This volume gathers over 200 scholarly papers presented at the 18th International Docomomo Conference, taking place in Santiago de Chile from December 10–14, 2024. Serving as a global forum, the conference delves into the enduring legacy of the Modern Movement through the critical lenses of sustainability, cultural diversity, and heritage conservation. From its inception, modern architecture was not monolithic; it was a movement that flourished across continents, adapting to diverse climates, cultures, and urban contexts. As we face an increasingly urbanized world, the need to reimagine and adapt the spaces shaped by the Modern Movement is more urgent than ever.
