Between October 2019 and March 2022, a series of protests known as the estallido social and starting with student protests against the fare increase of the Santiago metro, took place all over Chile and extended into riots against corruption, unemployment, liberalism and other social inequalities. As a result, Chile’s National Congress signed an agreement to hold a national referendum rewriting the constitution. On 19 December 2021, former student leader Gabriel Boric was elected president and, on 4 September 2022, a national plebiscite was held in order for the public to vote for or against the text drawing up the new Political Constitution of the country. The proposed constitution was rejected. A second and more conservative version was also dismissed in December 2023, leaving the country with the 1980 Constitution drafted during Pinochet’s dictatorship. How have those events affected Chile’s cultural and architectural scenes? How do Chilean architects envisage the future of their profession? Under the guidance of Felipe De Ferrari, cofounder of the practice Plan Común, L’Architecture d’Aujourd’hui invited architects Pedro Alonso, Thomas Batzenschlager, Alejandra Celedón, Cristián Izquierdo Lehmann, and Arturo Scheidegger to participate in a roundtable raising those questions, and more.
