Lira Vigneaux is an architectural studio based in Santiago de Chile since 2017, founded by the Lira Vigneaux brothers. Its activities are related to the design of public infrastructure, housing exploration, and territorial planning.
The studio seeks to open up the field of architecture to a broader social spectrum, aiming to connect with new economic, human, and environmental conditions.
Their work is approached through an anti-dogmatic perspective, in which relativeness and uncertainty are understood as contemporary constants.
