Adriana Araneda (1936-2023) and the teaching of landscape: itinerary of a Chilean teacher in France

Abstract

Adriana Araneda (1935-2023), a Chilean architect and teacher with a strong commitment to the teaching of architecture, was forced into exile when the military regime was installed in September 1973. What vision of architecture and pedagogy did she bring to the school of architecture in Paris La Villette (UP6)? How did her knowledge and theories travel and adapt in this new context? This article portrays her trajectory and her pedagogical work between France and Chile: from her higher studies and her first approaches to the teaching of architecture, in the faculty of architecture and urbanism of the University of Chile, to her pedagogical developments in Paris, in the French schools of architecture that were then in gestation. Therefore, it attempts to represent his contribution to the pedagogical renewal of architectural education in France, particularly in the field of landscape and the visual arts, with an effervescent and subversive environment as a backdrop.
