The magazine of the Association of Architectural Offices of Chile publishes an interview of Elisa Silva conducted by the Chilean architect Francisca Pulido in its volume n.47 in January 2023.
The conversation focuses on the need to revisit how barrios (called campamentos in Chile) and self-construction can be seen as expressions of the interest and aspiration people who come to the city have. They are actively pursuing a path toward a better quality of life and contribute to urban productivity. Elisa shares her experiences with the neighbors of the barrio La Palomera in Caracas, Venezuela.
