In 2009, the Chilean practice of Alejandro Aravena was selected as the third Marcus Prize recipient from the largest pool of nominees to date consisting of 40 international architects drawn from 18 countries. Aravena’s practice, a self-described “Do-Tank,” is affiliated with COPEC, a Chilean oil company, and the Universidad Católica de Chile. The affiliation has a social/political agenda and considers architecture a source for building social equity. The studio, which focused on specific architectural challenges that inspire positive change within Milwaukee’s urban fabric, was conducted in 2010.
