This chapter presents a set of generative experiences that seek to value the Mapocho River and its wetland system in Santiago de Chile, based on the formulation of a set of itineraries and participatory records. These experiences were carried out within the framework of the research “Mapocho Downstream. Visual Atlas for the Revaluation of the River...
El presente artículo se basa en una investigación desarrollada por la autora en base al proyecto Fondart 89185, cuyo principal objetivo es poner en valor un conjunto considerable de ramales ferroviarios que conectaban el territorio en el sentido oriente-poniente, integrando un conjunto de localidades hacia la cordillera o hacia la costa con la red...
El siguiente artículo aborda la revalorización de una singular infraestructura ferroviaria que se implementó a inicios del siglo XX al sur de Santiago, como conectividad estratégica y para el desarrollo productivo de las localidades entre Puente Alto y el Volcán. La implementación de esta infraestructura ferroviaria -denominada Ferrocarril Militar-...
This working paper explores experiential learning and teaching experiences that aim to create socially responsible architects and buildings who prioritize sustainability and innovation and offer some questions for further research. The ideas presented in this work are the evaluation of a cross-cultural Design-Build studio established in 2022 by des...
This collaborative project involves students and faculty from five academic institutions across three countries, collaborating with an Ecuadorian community on the design and construction of an educational space geared towards sustainability. The precise and almost choreographic design of the different stages and actors of the project aims not just...
Between 1817 and 1827, the expansion of water infrastructure in Santiago changed the way of understanding and managing the territory. Relying on cartographic reconstruction, Sandra Iturriaga takes us to the beginnings of the San Carlos canal -an artificial waterway that connected the Maipo and Mapocho rivers- to delve into the urban, political, and...
Tomando la noción de "Cuidado" como trasfondo para reflexionar sobre la formación de un arquitecto en sus primeros años de enseñanza, se propone abordar la relación que esto puede tener en los primeros acercamientos a la Arquitectura y el Paisaje.
El proyecto MAPOCHO 42K surge el año 2009 como parte de una experiencia académica de pregrado al alero de la Universidad Católica de Chile, que luego se desarrolla a lo largo de 8 años como una investigación aplicada, cuyo objetivo se ha encaminado en decantar una propuesta real para la ciudad de Santiago. Su principal punto de partida es recuperar...
The Mapocho River is one of the most significant geographic landmarks within the city of Santiago, and its gravitational condition within the urban landscape’s formation is a challenge that goes back to its foundation. Its riverbanks have been subject of several interventions over the course of the years, giving birth to the first urban promenades...
Nii Juinti es un hogar y escuela orientada a la ensenanza de la medicina tradicional del pueblo shipibo, basada en el uso de plantas nativas. La escuela se ubica en la cuenca del rio Ucayali, plena Amazonia peruana, en un territorio caracterizado por la precariedad de medios y la abundante naturaleza.

The south bank of an urban river is the subject of this proposal that combines large-scale and economy of means: it proposes the construction of a continuum of geographical magnitude through the discreet introduction of street furniture and a single criterion of tree plantations and pavements.
Using vernacular techniques, this work could be linked to the School of Valparaiso travesia works. Raised in a distant spot in the Amazon rainforest, they are light, hand-made structures with a small footprint, covered with a leaf-woven membrane. They are the result of cultural exchanges between Chilean architects and the Shipiba people.

Two adjacent dwellings in a garden city area are incorporated into a university campus. The executed operations to the dividing walls allow the discovery of new relationships of scale and a sequence of gardens permits an understanding of unity within a complex both complete and fragmented..
With the garden city as their model, some Santiago neighborhoods have taken the garden as a key to the urban puzzle, as mediator with the street, private expansion within the block, link with the landscape of the valley, and regulator for neighbors’ relationships. New vocations arise as these open un-programmed domestic spaces are incorporated into...
