Escuela de Valparaíso, Travesía La Serena. Acto poético final. 1988.

“La Ciudad Abierta, founded in 1970 on Ritoque sand dunes, north of Valparaiso, was born out of the encounter between poetry and different professions, united in the search for a consonance between speech and action. The project dates back to the 50s when the Design and Architecture School of the Pontificia Universidad de Valparaíso in Chile primed a process of research and reflection on their own work, guided by the poetic word.

In 1965, a group of architects, designers, poets, artists and philosophers undertook an expedition (travesía) through the South American continent, from Cape Horn to the Santa Cruz Sierra in Bolivia. The group was moved by the vastness of the territory; which led them to develop a reflection on being American. It is from this fundamental experience, embodied through the poem of Amereida (“Aeneid” American), that Ciudad Abierta was born, a city that faces the Pacific Ocean and which collects the poetic gestures  through interventions (actos) but also by spoken word.

 …In this area of 270 hectares, where marine vegetation breaks the uniformity of the stretch of sand, one discovers surprising buildings of imagination, closer to science fiction. Sandy paths lead to different constructions: facades shaped sails filled by the wind, like a space ship that seems to have asked, from a neighboring star, wooden house whose roof recalls the ocean waves very close…” https://www.instagram.com/p/CI_bW0lgDFy/?igshid=1vqsavbxawjrv
