The Valparaíso School, as it became known, acquired an international reputation for its radical stance and its commitment to dialogue between architects and other disciplines. Since 1970 the Valparaíso School has focused much of its research and design activity on the Open City (Ciudad Abierta) project, created by a group of architects, artists, poets, and engineers with a vision of a city with "no master plan, no imposed ordering devices, and no hierarchical networks of infrastructure." Originally set up as a laboratory-type environment, this alternative community has since become the place of residence and work for many people. Valparaíso School: Open City Group provides insight into this radical experiment in urban development through a series of essays and photographs.

City of Play shows how play is built into the very fabric of the modern city. From playgrounds to theme parks, skittle alleys to swimming pools, to the countless uncontrolled spaces which the urban habitat affords – play is by no means just a childhood affair. A myriad essentially unproductive playful pursuits have, through time, modelled the modern city and landscape. Architect and scholar Rodrigo Pérez de Arce''s erudite, original, and often surprising study explores a curiously neglected dimension of architectural design and practice: ludic space. It is an architectural history of the playground – from the hippodrome to the Situationist city – of space released from productive ends in the pursuit of leisure. But this is more than just a book about how architecture has incorporated play into its spaces and structures, it is a history of the modern city itself. The ludic imagination impregnated modernist ideals, and what begins with the playground ends with a re-consideration of the whole sweep of the modern movement through the filter of leisure and play.Because play is such a basic or fundamental human experience, the book re-grounds the architect''s concerns with those of non-architects – and not only those of adults but also of children. It seeks to give everyone – architects and other ordinary city-dwellers alike – a better understanding about what is at stake in the making of the public spaces of our cities.

"Referido al conjunto patrimonial de la orden Franciscana en Santiago y su entorno, una trama de temas arquitectónicos, urbanos y patrimoniales confluyen en este volumen.La consideración de las cambiantes fisonomías e interfaces urbanas de los conventos franciscanos en Latinoamérica constituye un aporte inédito, que enriquece y sitúa la comprensión del caso local en un contexto histórico y geográfico mayor. Esta sección, realizada por especialistas y observada desde sus respectivos casos, devela los trances urbanos de Lima, Caracas, Buenos Aires, Río de Janeiro, Bogotá, Quito, La Paz, Asunción, Montevideo y Santiago.En el caso chileno se examina con particular atención el devenir de las últimas cinco décadas, periodo en donde intensos debates en torno a la restauración y puesta en valor coinciden con importantes cambios urbanos. Sus respectivos proyectos y argumentos se exponen por primera vez conjuntamente, incluyéndose un significativo acopio de documentos inéditos.Un atlas de planos y levantamientos realizados por un taller del Magíster en Arquitectura de la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile aporta un caudal de planos, proyecciones axonométricas y vistas referidas al monumento histórico y su cambiante entorno hacia el 2019. Cierran el volumen los diversos proyectos de intervención realizados en ese mismo taller respecto al monumento y su entorno".

Rodrigo Perez de Arce's essay Urban Transformations and Architectural Additions was published during the formative stages of Post Modernism, at the point where theory was becoming seriously established. Jencks' first essays formalising the term Post Modernism in architecture and the revised Learning from Las Vegas were published the previous year. In planning terms, modernism had become associated with comprehensive redevelopment and forms of urban organisation that ignored context, history and any sense of tradition. De Arce considered the essential nature of buildings and the richness of historic urban form and explored how robust that essence was over time. He looked at the value of essential remnants and rich complexities in maintaining a sense of continuity and relevance. Having explored the adaptation process in history, de Arce went on to see how such a process might be simulated in contemporary cities with modern buildings, using additions and layers to change them from objects in infinite windswept space to being part of a rich urban fabric which described urban place. To do this he used concrete examples; housing schemes by James Stirling, new government centres in Chandigrah and Dacca and more prosaic 60's housing blocks.The paper had a fundamental influence on the way that architects and planners thought about the nature of cities: as dynamic organisms that were tangible to human beings, completely opposite to the systems thinking of the time. It contributed to ideas about the importance of street, place and city block which influenced so much recent regeneration practice. As we enter a phase of development where the reuse and adaptation of existing buildings is becoming paramount from both an economic and sustainable point of view, Perez de Arce's paper gives important insights into how to think about the process positively.
