Riassunto:This article presents the results of an exploratory study that reviews the diversity of images that sustainable architecture adopts in the Chilean context, with the aim of studying potential dialogues and tensions between local and global patterns; and between performance and appearance. The methodology was based on an extensive review of buildings that were published in local architectural media under a “sustainable” or “green” label during a fixed period of time, without attempting to look for a particular concept of sustainable architecture. Eighty-five buildings were identified and organized into three groups around the natural, technical or cultural images of sustainable architecture. The conclusions suggest that there is no single image of sustainable architecture in Chile, but a rich myriad of images that emphasize different sreveals the dominance of the technical globalized image, influenced by international models uncritically imported, but it also shows the value of local elements, such as the natural landscape, understood as the “own environment”, that influences and provides acontext for architecture aiming for sustainability.
