Functionality related problems, as well as a loss of local identity, make dwelling in urban areas meaningless. Addressing the aforementioned problems requires an approach that not only considers functionality, but also perceptual and subjective issues that arise from the perception that the inhabitants of cities have, in relation with their environment. Therefore, the sense of place appears to be a fundamental aspect to look at, since it can transform the way of inhabiting a certain area.

However, the linkage between design theory, creating sense of place and the urban design practice, have not been developed yet. This articles intends to look at how Sternberg's integrative urban design theory could be applied, putting emphasis on the production of places with meaning, through the projects developed in an architecture studio at the Universidad Austral de Chile, for the city of Valdivia. The results focus on the spatial transformation of key areas of the city, through a methodology that integrates theory and practice. Las ciudades chilenas debieran ser motivo de profunda preocupación, ya que en ellas se concentra no solo el grueso de la población, sino también un creciente descontento. Las graves frustraciones a consecuencia de conflictos asociados a la funcionalidad, como también a problemas de la pérdida de lazos de pertenencia con el espacio urbano, los hace habitar ciudades sin sentido. Abordar lo expuesto por supuesto invita no solo a pensar el espacio urbano funcional, sino también desde la subjetividad de sus habitantes. Los lugares se pueden volver fuente que dota de sentido a la vida urbana al transformarse en lugares icónicos, entonces comprender el sentido que guardan los lugares para los individuos es fundamental. Por otro lado, los principios orientadores del diseño urbano definen ciertas características de los lugares considerados óptimos y la literatura si bien no es extensa, orienta al respecto. Sin embargo la vinculación entre la teoría del diseño urbano, los lugares con sentido y las propuestas que aborden lo anterior no ha sido elaborada aun. Este artículo tiene por objetivo aplicar la teoría integradora del diseño urbano propuesta por Sternberg (2000) enfatizando el sentido del lugar mediante diversos proyectos académicos desarrollados en el Taller de Urbanismo de la Escuela de Arquitectura, UACH. El trabajo muestra la aplicación de dichos principios en un proyecto en la ciudad de Valdivia. Los resultados se enfocan en propuestas de reconversión espacial urbana de los lugares identificados, apuntando al desarrollo de una metodología que integre la teoría y la práctica.

Chilean cities should be subject of serious concern, not only because population in them is growing in size, but also in discontent. Functionality related problems, as well as a loss of local identity, make dwelling in urban areas meaningless. Addressing the aforementioned problems requires an approach that not only considers functionality, but also perceptual and subjective issues that arise from the perception that the inhabitants of cities have, in relation with their environment. Therefore, the sense of place appears to be a fundamental aspect to look at, since it can transform the way of inhabiting a certain area. Moreover, some guidance regarding what is a good place, and should it be can be found within the principles of urban design. However, the linkage between design theory, creating sense of place and the urban design practice, have not been developed yet. This articles intends to look at how Sternberg's integrative urban design theory could be applied, putting emphasis on the production of places with meaning, through the projects developed in an architecture studio at the Universidad Austral de Chile, for the city of Valdivia.
