 Grupo Ciudad Abierta РUniversidad Pontificia Católica de Valparaiso
David Jolly is an architect in practice, Unit Master Tutor and lecturer in the School of Architecture and Design at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso. He is a co-founder of the Open City of Amereida, where he both lives and develops his research. This research is mainly in two domains: new forms for architecture employing geotextile fabric formwork for concrete, and architecture’s relation to poetry. In the latter field, he has completed about 25 expeditions with his students – ‘travesías’ or ‘voyages’ (literally ‘crossings’) – to various sites across the South American continent since 1984. Both the work at the Open City and the Travesías seek to establish the inhabitable space and possible destiny of South America revealed by poetry.
