Valparaiso is a city defined not only by arts and culture, but it is also a marvel of improvised urban design and unique architecture. Also called “the jewel of the pacific” or ‘Valparadise’, Valparaiso is composed of more than 200 different hills where some of the most audacious artists inspire to create their art. Valpi is horizontally segmented, creating an immersive yet abstracted chronicle of both the multifaceted layers of human life in this place and the politico-cultural fractures hidden beneath the surface.
