It is focused on documents that reveal his relationship with the School of Architecture at the Pontifical Catholic University of Valparaíso (PUCV) and Ciudad Abierta in the late 1960s. It is based on the hypothesis that exploring little-studied sources can reveal new ways of interpreting Tunga’s artistic and intellectual trajectory, broadening perspectives and challenging established knowledge. The research raises questions about how to identify architecture in an art archive, how to assemble documentary fragments, and how the archive reveals both the artist and the networks surrounding him. The method combines documentary and reflective analysis supported by three theoretical frameworks: Intellectual Biography (François Dosse), which connects life and work; Biogram (Roland Barthes), which values singular fragments; and Actor-Network Theory (Bruno Latour), which maps sociability networks. The corpus includes personal and institutional archives encompassing academic records, photographs, interviews, and correspondence. The study demonstrates the formative influence of Valparaíso School on Tunga’s work highlighting interactions, experiences, and practices that connect life, art, and architecture. This introduces a novel perspective that expands the existing historiography of the artist.   Este artículo analiza la presencia de la arquitectura en el archivo del artista brasileño Tunga (1952–2016), centrándose en documentos que evidencian su relación con la Escuela de Arquitectura de la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso (PUCV) y la Ciudad Abierta a finales de los años 1960. Parte de la hipótesis de que la exploración de fuentes poco estudiadas puede revelar nuevas formas de interpretar la trayectoria artística e intelectual de Tunga, ampliando perspectivas y cuestionando conocimientos previos. La investigación plantea preguntas sobre cómo identificar arquitectura en un archivo de arte, cómo ensamblar fragmentos documentales y cómo el archivo revela al artista y a las redes que lo rodean. El método combina análisis documental y reflexivo, respaldado en tres referentes teóricos: biografía intelectual (François Dosse), que articula vida y obra; biograma (Roland Barthes), que valora fragmentos singulares; y actor-red (Bruno Latour), que mapea redes de sociabilidad. El corpus incluye archivos personales e institucionales, con registros académicos, fotografías, entrevistas y correspondencias. La investigación evidencia la influencia de la Escuela de Valparaíso en la obra de Tunga, mostrando interacciones, experiencias y prácticas que conectan vida, arte y arquitectura, ofreciendo una perspectiva inédita que amplía la historiografía del artista.   Facultad de Arquitectura, Planeamiento y Diseño | Universidad Nacional de Rosario 2025-12-06 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion text/html application/zip application/pdf https://www.ayp.fapyd.unr.edu.ar/index.php/ayp/article/view/527 10.35305/23626097v12i23.527 A&P Continuidad; Vol. 12 Núm. 23 (2025): ARCHIVOS DE ARQUITECTURA Y URBANISMO EN AMÉRICA LATINA: CONFIGURACIONES Y VIVENCIAS INTERNAS 2362-6097 2362-6089 spa https://www.ayp.fapyd.unr.edu.ar/index.php/ayp/article/view/527/712 https://www.ayp.fapyd.unr.edu.ar/index.php/ayp/article/view/527/713 https://www.ayp.fapyd.unr.edu.ar/index.php/ayp/article/view/527/738 Derechos de autor 2025 A&P Continuidad http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0
