Schools

Since the late 19th century, the School of Architecture has undertaken the study of the relationships between culture, architecture, and the city, aiming to contribute to the nation’s comprehensive development through an ongoing commitment to its architectural, urban, territorial, and heritage context.

We aim to lead the transition towards an ethical approach to design in Latin America, establishing an original approach based on observation, innovation, creativity, and experimentation. We aspire to generate possible futures, creating a space where students and faculty, alongside communities and organizations, collaborate to envision and design conditions that promote sustainable, equitable, and inclusive living.

The Institute is an academic unit founded in 1965 with the objective of promoting research and teaching in planning and urban-territorial studies. It is a leading interdisciplinary unit in the region, offering undergraduate, diploma, master’s, and doctoral programs.
