Confined laboratory: modern architecture in northern Chile

Authors

  • Claudio Galeno I. Arquitecto

Abstract

Modern architecture planned for northern Chile, was the product of efforts of various national and regional institutions. The responsiveness of the young and cosmopolitan societies allowed several architects to develop buildings especially for the north, first with an orthodox rationalism, but then exploring resolutions that integrated the climate and topography of the desert, creating a unique laboratory for modernity.
