Based in Santiago de Chile, TOMA is an architectural collective that sets out to generate alternative social ecosystems through territorial action and multi‐party collaboration. Ignacio Saavedra Valenzuela is one of its co‐founders and partners. He explains the cultural backdrop against which it operates; its approach, founded on the construction of context narratives; its cross‐disciplinary working method; and some of its projects.
