Sammanfattning:Because of the IV Centenary of the Concepcion city foundation in 1950, this capital city turned into a cultural kaleidoscope. Among the multiplicity of events celebrated, the “First Congress and National Architecture Exhibition” took place. Although, national architecture historiography paid little attention to this first gathering convened by the Association of Architects, given the discovery of its news in the Concepcion press, this article informs about its development and scope. The text presented is complimentary to a major investigation focused on the mass media covering architecture edited in Chile; therefore, it reveals the facts through a tight chronic about the gathering and offers preliminary results regarding a review about the personal and institutional career of the attendees to this congress because, immediately after this event their names got involved in the architectonic avant-garde as a consequence of the balanced exercise among discipline, profession and modernity.
