It is a phase qualified as a transitional one, when avant garde foreign models that answer to different social and cultural realities were reproduced locally. This phenomenon has not been studied with the appropriate depth of analysis, and frequently the ideology and models of the so called Modern Movement are highlighted as the sole source that launched the local architecturalmodernity.Nevertheless, there are other factors that, even with a less evident revolutionary character, contributed significantly to the burst of historical and architectural modernity in the country. That is the case of the innovation in building technology that prior to the appearance of the modern architecture itself, started to pave the way for, make possible and demand the modernizing change to follow. The introduction of reinforced concrete, both as a material and as the new building conception that it implies, is a good example. Las primeras décadas del siglo XX representan un período que adquiere singular importancia para la historia de la arquitectura chilena en general y particularmente para el caso de la ciudad de Santiago. Etapa de transición, que reproduce procesos gestados en otras realidades socioculturales, es un campo de estudio que no ha sido analizado con el detalle que demanda, exaltándose principalmente, la modelística del Movimiento Moderno como causa y razón que precipita la modernidad arquitectónica local.Sin embargo, existirían otros aspectos que, con un carácter rupturista menos evidente quizás, colaboraron igualmente en instaurar una modernidad histórico-arquitectónica en nuestro medio. Es el caso de la innovación técnica que de forma anticipada a la irrupción de la arquitectura moderna propiamente tal comenzó a presagiar, posibilitar y demandar el cambio modernizador que comenzaría a operar posteriormente. La introducción del hormigón armado, en tanto material y nueva concepción constructiva que su uso conllevaba, ejemplifica esta situación. Universidad de Chile.
