In our first photography competition, we invite all enthusiasts of the art—architects and non-architects alike—to capture what they consider most significant and striking when asked: What has the pandemic brought to the world of architecture?

"We had become accustomed to self-exploitation, exhaustion, competition, and perfect performance. However, a microscopic virus forced us to stop (perhaps for the better, at least in this regard). We had to learn to care for ourselves. After more than a year of the pandemic, we became aware of our vulnerability and our dependence on others... we have not only learned to care for ourselves and others, but we have also established relationships of care with 'non-human' agents: plants or pets within our homes; heritage buildings and neighborhoods in our cities; or even landscapes and ecosystems on a territorial scale.

Applications for the Escola da Cidade lato sensu postgraduate program are open until August 13, 2021. Established over 10 years ago, the program consists of seven courses and is structured around two central pillars: practice and design, both understood as research and strategies for engaging with space across its multiple scales. The program’s overarching theme, "Civilization America: A Look Through Architecture," seeks to understand and address the historical, geographical, territorial, and social conditions that define us. With this perspective, the postgraduate courses at Escola da Cidade aim to connect professionals working in architecture, urbanism, and related fields with research and critical reflection applied to design and teaching.

Between 1950 and 1970, the Chilean state undertook a national modernization process for its institutions, establishing the state's responsibility to clearly improve the living conditions of its population. Consequently, the Housing Corporation (CORVI, 1953–1976) was established in 1953. Through this body, the state spearheaded the implementation of the Chilean Housing Plan (1959), concretely positioning the construction of housing and the city as a catalyst for social change.
