Excerpted from the web site for Team 10: Guillermo Jullian de la Fuente "was trained as an architect at the School of Architecture at the Catholic University of Valparaiso . . . . He started working in the office of Le Corbusier from 1959 onward, where he became chef de bureau. He was the project architect for the Carpenter Center at Harvard University and for the hospital in Venice . . . . When Le Corbusier died in 1965, Jullian de la Fuente was commissioned to complete the Venice building, but the project was eventually abandoned by the city government."
