RADIC, Smiljan; CASTILLO, Eduardo  y  SERPELL, Ricardo. Barrio Cívico, Concepción. ARQ (Santiago) [online]. 2003, n.53, pp. 20-27. ISSN 0717-6996.  doi: 10.4067/S0717-69962003005300008.

We show here in detail the development of a project for Concepción’s Civic quarter, resulting from a public architectural competition. This project is considered to be of central importance in the context of this city’s urban renewal, as it is proposed by the "Plan Concepción". This building, both by its dimensions and by its architectural quality, should become one of the greatest architectural works brought about by the Chilean state in this century.
