In early March 2010, INTI will be presenting the book "New Towns for the 21st Century: The Planned vs. the Unplanned City". This publication is the result of the 2009 conference of the same title. INTI is very pleased to add "The Planned vs. the Unplanned" to our growing series of books on New Towns.
Chilean architect Alejandro Aravena has also been invited to give a lecture during the evening. Aravena is well known for the work of his office Elemental, based in Santiago. The housing project Quinta Monroy is one of the most widely published social housing solutions, providing a basic concrete block unit with available space for inhabitants to personalize and extend their homes.
Aravena’s work connects planned and unplanned architectural events in surprisingly elegant ways. INTI is very excited to combine our latest book presentation with the lecture of such a relevant architect.
More information on the date and location of the lecture and book presentation will follow shortly.
