Ediciones ARQ is a Chilean non-profit publisher, owned by the Catholic University of Chile. Since 1980 we have published more than 50 books and magazine issues on architecture and its associated disciplines. Our main objective has been to publicize and promote an appreciation of the architecture of Chile and South America. The contents of each publication cover the areas of criticism and theory, seeking a balance between the professional and the academic.

Ediciones ARQ is directly dependent on the University’s School of Architecture, which has kept it in direct contact with an international network of architecture faculties, including Harvard’s GSD, ETSAB, Spain, the faculty of Architecture and Town Planning of Universidad Central, Venezuela, and the Universidad Torcuato de Tella, Argentina. Exchanges, discussions and encounters among teachers and architects of the highest level, Chilean and foreign, provide form and content to ARQ’s publications.
