VOICED : Chileno Aravena reivindica la arquitectura social

Chilean architect Alejandro Aravena, a Pritzker Prize winner, met with President Michelle Bachelet to discuss his architectural philosophy. Aravena, known for his social housing projects, emphasized the need for architecture to address a broader range of issues beyond artistic concerns. He highlighted the importance of expanding the spectrum of problems architects should tackle, rather than replacing existing focuses. Influenced by the 2010 earthquake, Aravena designed the reconstruction of Constitución, which contributed to his recognition as a leading architect.
