The School of Architecture University of Talca a été créée en 1999. Depuis, elle a lancé une série d’initiatives académiques aux antipodes de l’enseignement traditionnel de l’architecture. Elle a également produit de multiples projets d’architecture de petite envergure. Le projet a une grande valeur sociale et géoculturelle pour la population des Vallées du Centre du Chili.
