PUCC is a leading Chilenean university in the field of Architecture, Building Technology, Construction and Urban Planning showing an advanced theoretical background and reputation based on famous architects and urban planners working as staff and partners; a balanced recognition of theory, empirical monitoring and practical bias creates a very attractive design of studies and research.
The participating Architecture department gives a special and interdisciplinary focus on issues of Urban Theory and History, interrelation of urban, rural and environmental development.
PUCC has developed a strong international orientation and may build on the already established links with some European and Latin American partners of the AURORA network.
