However, responses to tsunami events are still in a developmental stage, especially after the earthquake and tsunami of 2010. In this sense, the city of Iquique presents a serious challenge with regard to tsunami, as it could suffer severe, extensive damage caused by flooding of 5-10 meters. Moreover, in many places the distance between the shore and safe areas on higher ground is excessive, thereby causing serious risk for the population.

Chile posee una larga historia de terremotos y tsunamis, y como resultado, el país ha implementado un estricto sistema normativo que ha permitido dar una respuesta adecuada a casos de terremotos recientes. Ahora bien, en caso de tsunami, tales respuestas se encuentran aún en una etapa de desarrollo, particularmente después de los sucesos del año 2010. La ciudad de Iquique presenta un serio desafío en ese sentido, por cuanto extensas áreas podrían sufrir serios daños, a causa de inundaciones de 5 a 10 metros. Por otra parte, en muchos sectores la distancia entre la costa y las zonas de seguridad es excesiva, lo que presenta serios riesgos para la población. Este artículo examina Iquique y sus potenciales escenarios de tsunami, identificando y localizando las debilidades de la red urbana de seguridad. Posteriormente, se exploran posibles mejoras, desde el punto de vista del diseño arquitectónico, concretamente a través de la incorporación de un sistema de estructuras de evacuación vertical.   Universidad del Bío-Bío, Chile 2018-12-31 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://revistas.ubiobio.cl/index.php/AS/article/view/3366 10.22320/07196466.2018.36.054.04 ARQUITECTURAS DEL SUR; V.36, N.54 (Diciembre 2018): SUSTENTABILIDAD Y RESILIENCIA EN LA ARQUITECTURA LATINOAMERICANA DEL SIGLO XXI; 46-57 ARQUITECTURAS DEL SUR; V.36, N.54 (December 2018): SUSTAINABILITY AND RESILIENCE IN 21ST CENTURY LATIN AMERICAN ARCHITECTURE; 46-57 ARQUITECTURAS DEL SUR; V.36, N.54 (Dezembro 2018): SUSTENTABILIDADE E RESILIÊNCIA NA ARQUITETURA LATINO-AMERICANA DO SÉCULO XXI; 46-57 0719-6466 0716-2677 spa https://revistas.ubiobio.cl/index.php/AS/article/view/3366/3512

description Chile has a long history of earthquakes and tsunamis, and as a result the country has implemented a strict regulatory system that has enabled adequate responses in the case of recent earthquakes. However, responses to tsunami events are still in a developmental stage, especially after the earthquake and tsunami of 2010. In this sense, the city of Iquique presents a serious challenge with regard to tsunami, as it could suffer severe, extensive damage caused by flooding of 5-10 meters. Moreover, in many places the distance between the shore and safe areas on higher ground is excessive, thereby causing serious risk for the population. This article examines Iquique and its potential tsunami scenarios by identifying and pinpointing the weaknesses in its urban safety network. Finally, possible improvements to the existing system are explored from an architectural design viewpoint, specifically through the incorporation of a system of vertical evacuation structures.
