PROJECTS
For Ukraine
In March 2022, our team was invited to join an International Team of Consultants to take part in the reconstruction process of the City of Irpin, which had been 70% devastated by the Russian invasion. Following our collaboration, the authorities of the City of Irpin asked us to assist them on the ground in prioritizing the reconstruction process.
Subsequently, we were contacted by two cities, Chernihiv and Kreminna, which had been under constant attack by the Russian army.
Now a days we have worked on 10 reconstruction projects in these three cities.
For Türkiye
As chilean international consultants experts in the development of Innovative Anti-Seismic Architectural and Urban Design, we are working on an intense seminar on professional and technical knowledge of Creative Anti-seismic Architectural and Engineering design under the accumulated Chilean experience for the Chamber of Commerce of Izmir, Türkiye .
On February 6, 2023, Türkiye was devastated by a 7.8 Mw earthquake. This earthquake had more than 1,000 aftershocks, leaving a total of more than 4 million buildings affected and a total of 12,141 buildings collapsed. One of the most affected cities was Izmir. This city has been a seismic epicenter on numerous past occasions and due to its sad record of millions of deaths after a seismic event, today it is in search of a new cultural model of anti-seismic construction. Due to this, the Izmir College of Architects has asked us for advice to guide the reconstruction process and new anti-seismic construction of the city.
Describe your image
The objective of these Workshops is to show the main aspects that have constituted the Chilean anti-seismic experience accumulated in architectural design and how this experience has allowed the gradual construction of the most effective and successful culture of anti-seismic architectural design in the world.
In this sense, share our construction philosophy through the selection of architectural works representative of the new conceptual architectural lines that have a strong impact on anti-seismic design strategies and that demonstrate that their requirements and demands are not an impediment to the development of architectural works of great artistic and creative quality.
This workshop y supported by the Izmir Chamber of Commerce, and we worked collaboratively with prestigious Chilean centers and companies that are leaders in anti-seismic technology and construction worldwide:
ICAUS
ICAUS was born as an initiative of Thought Group Chile to create a unique space dedicated to enriching the city and society by championing freedom within the academic realm. It focuses on fostering innovative ideas to rebuild and reimagine cities ravaged by war or natural disasters.
New Resilient Pro-Seismic City Design
The fundamental idea of this international architecture competition is to build a fresh, creative, innovative, free, and spontaneous conceptual seismic solution for the reconstruction of a city that has been devastated by the Kahramanmaraş earthquake and a subsequent tsunami, without professional or economic distortions.
We encourage students to envision a new Pro-Seismic-Resilient city—one that harmonizes with its geography, adapts to its challenges, and embraces earthquake and tsunami resilience. The aim is to observe the territory and respect the natural movements caused by geological activity, creating a city that works with these dynamics rather than against them.
