The Invariability of a Recognized Architecture: Urban Colonial Dwellings in Chile
This paper explores an architectural typology, which today is hardly surviving: the urban colonial housing. Such houses take the sites near the foundational nucleus and therefore the companies involved in the production and commercialization of real estate are pushing then to their extinction. Takin...

oai:ojs.revistas.uchile.cl:article-620602020-03-04T10:30:42Z The Invariability of a Recognized Architecture: Urban Colonial Dwellings in Chile Invariantes de una arquitectura reconocible: la vivienda colonial urbana en Chile Sahady Villanueva, Antonio This paper explores an architectural typology, which today is hardly surviving: the urban colonial housing. Such houses take the sites near the foundational nucleus and therefore the companies involved in the production and commercialization of real estate are pushing then to their extinction. Taking four Chilean cities as sample - La Serene, San Felipe, Santiago and Rancagua- the morphological, structural and spatial characteristics of these houses are analyzed. Even when there are certain distinctive features relating the houses to their surroundings, there are some common characteristics, which allow for an identification of the typology. But beyond the formal features are those substantial values that these houses have as an irreplaceable link in the brief chain which is the Chilean architectural history. El presente artículo explora una tipología arquitectónica que hoy sobrevive con dificultad: se trata de la vivienda colonial urbana, que por ocupar valiosos predios próximos a los respectivos núcleos fundacionales, es combatida casi hasta el exterminio por las pujantes empresas de producción y comercialización inmobiliarias. Tomando como universo de estudio cuatro ciudades chilenas -La Serena, San Felipe, Santiago y Rancagua- se analiza los atributos morfológicos, estructurales y espaciales de estas viviendas. Aun cuando existen ciertos rasgos distintivos que las vinculan con el lugar en que están localizadas, se advierten características comunes que permiten identificar con claridad la tipología. Pero más allá del repertorio formal aparente están aquellos valores sustantivos que la acreditan como un eslabón insustituible en la breve cadena que constituye la historia de la arquitectura chilena.

This paper explores an architectural typology, which today is hardly surviving: the urban colonial housing. Such houses take the sites near the foundational nucleus and therefore the companies involved in the production and commercialization of real estate are pushing then to their extinction. Taking four Chilean cities as sample - La Serene, San Felipe, Santiago and Rancagua- the morphological, structural and spatial characteristics of these houses are analyzed. Even when there are certain distinctive features relating the houses to their surroundings, there are some common characteristics, which allow for an identification of the typology. But beyond the formal features are those substantial values that these houses have as an irreplaceable link in the brief chain which is the Chilean architectural history. |
