Conjunto de integración y mixtura social en el centro de La Serena, Chile. Toro Cano, Fernando The main problem in Chile today is inequality. Regional and OCDE’s researches indicates that Chile has one of the highest urban segregation levels. Collective housing of social mixture in downtown La Serena is an integral project that proposes changes in two lines: housing and urban policy and architectural design. The idea is to revitalize the historic downtown by medium high densification, avoiding the gentrification and promoting the permanence of the actual neighbors. On the other hand, a new urban management is proposed, a mixed system (public company) that promotes social integration projects. At architectural level, the housing complex includes three scales of integration: city, neighborhood and community, materialized in a medium size communal park, two big public spaces at the first floor of the complex, and courtyards of integration at the vertex of every floor. These are connected by wide aisles that incentivize the interaction and communication of the neighbors. The project considers 150 houses in 7 different types. El mayor problema hoy en Chile es su desigualdad. Indicadores de la OCDE lo sitúan como uno de los países de mayor desigualdad urbana. Este proyecto propone cambios tanto de gestión urbana como de arquitectura y mixtura tipológica de conjuntos habitacionales. La idea es revitalizar el centro de histórico de La Serena, promoviendo viviendas colectivas en densidad media considerando la población preexistente, en su mayoría allegados, evitando la gentrificación y densificando el sector con diversas tipologías y equipamiento. A nivel de gestión urbana, se propone un sistema de Empresa Pública que promueva la integración y equipamientos de escala intermedia. Siendo la integración lo fundamental, a nivel arquitectónico, el conjunto contempla tres escalas de integración: Comunal, barrial y vecinal. Así, se plantea la construcción de un parque comunal aledaño al polígono del conjunto. Además, se proyectan en primer piso del edificio una amplia plaza verde que se fuga con vista al Río Elqui y una plaza dura contenida de carácter interior y comunitario. Finalmente cada piso superior contiene uno o dos espacios de integración en los vértices del volumen que conectados a través de amplias galerías promueven la interacción de las siete diversas tipologías y 150 viviendas que componen esta propuesta.
