In the context of the current health crisis, the new edition of Open House Santiago (OH! Stgo) will be dedicated to “The City and Care” as a way to create inclusive opportunities that bring people together in buildings that are typically closed to the public. Scheduled from Friday, January 14 to Sunday, January 23, 2022, the event will focus this time on priority groups such as older adults, people with disabilities, and children. Organized by Fundación Aldea, the initiative has celebrated the contemporary city since 2017 through events aimed at providing citizens with practical knowledge about Santiago's architecture, urban design, and environment through its various urban landmarks.
In addition to opening a series of buildings to the general public—including Miguel Eyquem's Casa Peña—the new edition of OH! Stgo will feature an architecture and open spaces guide, as well as podcasts and interactive virtual tours. This material will soon be available on the event website.
As part of Open House Worldwide—a network of over 50 cities—OH! Stgo will participate in the Youth Manifesto, a space designed for young people seeking to engage in collective action to combat the climate crisis and take an active role in environmental and civic policy. Under this initiative, a series of meetings and tours will be held for youth between the ages of 14 and 18, culminating in the drafting of a manifesto to be presented to authorities and published during an online international event.
