Territorializing architecture
/ José Rosas
Putting the value of architecture in the composition of a territory,
be it a piece or fragment of a larger area or a representation of one
detail, is one of the subjects that converge in the proposed reflection
of the articles in this edition .

Lo
Contador: house, borough, city / Fernando Pérez Oyarzun
The relevance of a work in the construction, evolution and use of an
immediate territory of which it forms a part are unveiled here in the
record of the occurrences in a grange over the centuries. The work process
is reconstructed on the basis of different scales of focus: the house,
the neighborhood and the city.

A
construction tradition of the Near North
/ Rocío Blaitt
A good part of rural architecture contains material sourced from the
territory where it is emplaced. El Tangue Hacienda is an example of
this relationship: due to its isolation, its homes and barns for which
the clay soil and the bulrush that grows in the wetlands nearby were
used as efficient and low-cost construction materials.

Territories
of fury / Rodrigo
Ganter
La Legua has likely consolidated as a recognizable entity within the
urban weave of Santiago because of the superposition of segregation,
political conflicts and a disciplined culture. The structure of its
community and its culture have been what have marked its boundaries
with precision, rather than its spatial reality.

Public
space / Elke
Schlack
The actual prestige of the private sector, the politically correct but
devalued public sector, and the absence of shades in the distinctions
between both makes the definition of a code urgent that will ensure
the continuity of public spaces in the city. Bernardo Secchi has said
that public space is where "one is in public." Do the ordinances
reflect this?.

Pite
house, Papudo, Chile / Smiljan Radic
The temptation of being on the brink, of establishing a strong interior–exterior
relationship, is exacerbated by the important presence of the ocean
and an abrupt cliff. The project develops through the articulation of
the different spaces and zoning on the slope. The shape brings the spaces
ever closer to the edge, there where vertigo, extension and a vacuum
appear.

El
Morro house, Zapallar, Chile / Teodoro Fernández
A privileged piece of property on the coast, the author's trade and
the complicity of the client exemplify a proper relationship between
the work and the territory. One level set on the slope like skirting
and another level projecting outwards cohabit on the hill, which represents
the entire public program and the best views.

Transversal
comment - Two houses in the coast / Miguel Eyquem
These
two works on the coast are analyzed from the perspective of perception
and the senses. The author reviews the work through a slow and reflexive
narrative and debates two ways to occupy a plot of land on the edge
of the sea.

Lofts
Yungay, Valparaíso, Chile / Antonio Menéndez,
Cristián Barrientos
Aware of the urban heritage and the topography of the city, this project
is committed to the physical reality of its surroundings and is inserted
in the new framework of government support to the renovation of heritage.
It also takes into account the demands for alternative model homes.

Transversal
comment - A work in Valparaiso / Miguel Eyquem
Looking at Valparaiso through reflection, emphasis is placed on the
different ways in which one same work can be read. The relationship
of the work to the urban weave and the heritage as well as the good
style of the work are present in the narrative.

Saucache
Campus, Arica, Chile / Jorge Marsino, Claudio Santander, Diego Achurra
The university campus is put into a different order according to a new
master plan that presents a concordance, through a repertoire of new buildings,
between the uses inherent to educational architecture and the expression
of buildings that are emphatically reminiscent, in answer to climate,
of Pre-Hispanic cultures that inhabited that zone. |

Patriarch
Square, Sao Paulo, Brazil / Paulo Mendes da Rocha
Since 1984 and till now, the School of Architecture and Design of the
Universidad Católica de Valparaíso has been making its
expeditions known as Travesías. Traveling embodies the importance
of territory for the School, as the trip becomes a powerful experience
of architecture, a way to understand space and an opportunity to design.

Lago
Colico House, Cunco, Chile / Fabio Cruz, Tomás
Browne
Architecture establishes a link simultaneously to the surrounding background
and the immediate interior. In the words of Perez Oyarzun, in part mirror
–an object of contemplation– and in part mantle –the
interior and somewhat anonymous dimension as a place of shelter–.
The length of this house constructs two interpretations between the
profile of the mountains and a succession of interiors.

Ski
Box, Los Andes, Chile / Nicolás del Río,
Max Núñez
Built in a mountain spot at an altitude of 3000 meters, in a dissimilar
location with totally opposite realities: winter and summer. The work
is designed –on a minimum scale– as a new, flexible model
of occupation of that territory that takes into account precedents and
materials present in the constructions existing in the location.
|
 |
Geometric
terms, Coñaripe, Chile / Germán del Sol
The project develops through a strong meeting of the environment and
a correct occupation of the territory, taking the work to the edge of
the land. The intervention is limited and firm, bringing forth subjects
such as the materials used in the work and the right type of changes
to the landscape.
