Inhabiting the Poetic Word: A Conversation with Cazú Zegers

No. 42 (2025-05-30)

Abstract

The interview with Chilean architect Cazú Zegers, conducted by Ingrid Quintana-Guerrero and Rafael Méndez Cárdenas as part of Pabellón 2023, delves into key themes that are essential to understanding her approach to architecture and the practice that underpins it. Central to the discussion were topics such as the connection between poetic language and geography, parametric thinking, the cultural ancestry rooted in the Pacific region, and community-based collaboration.

Keywords: Chilean contemporary architecture, Pacific, parametricism, poetic word, community-based collaboration
