Our editorial work is channeled into two lines of production: the quarterly publication of ARQ journal and the edition of a wide array of books about architecture, landscape and the city — that to date make up a catalog of over 150 titles.

Un siglo de planificación urbano-regional en Chile

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.

Modern Futures: Sustainable Development and Cultural Diversity
(diciembre 2024)

This volume gathers over 200 scholarly papers presented at the 18th International Docomomo Conference in Santiago de Chile. 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.

Spanning a wide range of topics —from education, theory, and curatorial practices to prefabrication, circular economies, and feminist perspectives— these essays critically engage with the architectural, social, and ecological dimensions of our shared heritage. As we look to the past to inform a sustainable future, this collection challenges us to rethink conservation not just as preservation but as a transformative practice that acknowledges both global imperatives and local specificities. This book is an invaluable resource for architects, scholars, and practitioners dedicated to exploring how the diverse legacies of modern architecture can inform more inclusive and sustainable urban futures.
