The Chilean Ministry of Cultures, Arts, and Heritage selected architect Gonzalo Carrasco and Beals Lyon Architects as curators of the Chilean pavilion at the Venice Biennale 2023 with their proposal themed “Ecologies in Motion” (“Ecologías en Movimiento”).
“Ecologies in Motion” will address how the Quinta Normal park project in Santiago, “architecture and science made it possible to imagine the future of a country that was entering modernity” in the XIX century, according to the organizers. Moreover, the proposal parallels the current challenges around ecological repair and restoration with the study of soil recovery processes with endemic seeds.
