Resiliencia urbana y lenguaje de patrones en Valparaíso, Chile Cañete Islas, Omar Given the complexity of the processes of vernacular urban settlement in Valparaíso, Chile is that it is necessary to develop modes of understanding and analysis of reality that integrate this complexity. In this article, a theoretical-methodological review of two theoretical approaches that allow an approach and understanding to the problem of inhabiting Valparaíso and the formation of urban fabric, its social ties, and characteristic vernacular character is made. On the one hand, the notion of Alexander's language of habitability patterns and on the other, the notion of urban resilience, allowing a more comprehensive study framework that characterizes, describes and understands such complexity. Some studies and their consequent analysis criteria are reviewed that describe the own vernacular habitat in Valparaiso, allowing us an understanding of an integral recognition of their potential as risks, based on their own characteristics and of ravine nature. Dada la complejidad de los procesos de asentamiento urbano vernacular en Valparaíso, Chile, es que se hace necesario desarrollar modos integrados de comprensión y análisis de la realidad, que incorporen dicha complejidad. En el presente artículo se realiza una revisión teórico-metodológica de dos enfoques teóricos que permiten una aproximación y comprensión al problema del habitar de Valparaíso y la formación de tejido urbano, sus lazos sociales, y carácter vernáculo tan característico: por un lado, la noción de lenguaje de patrones de habitabilidad de Alexander y, por otro, la noción de resiliencia urbana, con los cuales se articula un marco de estudio más integral que caracterice, describa y comprenda tal complejidad. Se revisan algunos estudios y sus consecuentes criterios de análisis, los que describen el habitar vernáculo propio de esta ciudad y sus alcances. Universidad de Chile.
