ABOUT US
MASSANTIAGO is an organization that promotes networking among professionals related to the architecture field by planning conventions, institutional trips, workshops, events and symposia in Chile and abroad, as-well as holding lectures.
​
OUR TEAM is made up of professionally active local architects and highly involved with the Chilean architecture environment . Our work is focused on delivering a graphic explanation of the multiple factors (social, geographical, historical, political and economic) that have contributed to the current theoretical and formal scenario of Chilean Architecture. We understand buildings not as static objects, but as structures integrated to specific social and cultural dynamics.
​
MASSANTIAGO is a member of the Guiding Architects Network (www.guiding-architects.net), a recognized international organization of associated architects, who offer specialized tours in more than 47 big cities around the world.
OUR CUSTOMERS are mainly composed by groups of architects, architecture studios, architecture associations, universities, NGOs, companies, diplomats and investors, as-well as particular groups of people interested in discovering the local architecture from a professional approach.
