Description
Summary:Through a three-year project supported by FONDECYT, the phenomenon of architectural identity was studied in central Chile. The research was carried out from a semiotic point of view and as a social phenomenon, which goes beyond -and does not entail exclusively- the qualities of a specific architectonical production. Identify is expressed in the degree of communication which the architecture is able to stablish with the layman. Such communication may be regarded as a nonverbal language and thus it can be submitted to a semiotic analysis to verify its semiotic behavior as a social product.
