Investigación aplicada en la emergencia Serrano Rodríguez, Pedro Rolando Three days after the February 27, 2010 earthquake that struck central Chile, the Extreme Architecture Unit, ARQ-X, under the Architecture Department at Technical University Federico Santa María, proposed a rapid action plan capable of developing in the short term a low cost productive and assemblage geodetic coverage system that would allow to quickly to coordinate equipment, meetings and school activities in the most affected areas. The department-based research on geodetic structures application in different materials and building methods dates from 2000. Within a week, considering the existing knowledge and experience it was possible to carry out a productive workshop with volunteer students, quickly raise funds from the University and foreign collaborators, and develop an ef? cient productive system that by the end of March, 2010 was working in the affected areas. “This is not housing” was the ?rst warning printed on the geodetic coverage; these structures were not gifts to people, but foldable, movable and storable systems intended to be used in future emergencies. This paper describes the structural scheme, productive process, web distribution, and results achieved by this initiative. Tres días después del terremoto del 27 de febrero de 2010 en la zona central de Chile, la Unidad de Arquitectura Extrema, ARQ-X , del Departamento de Arquitectura de la Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María (UTFSM), propuso un programa de acción rápido que fuese capaz, en el corto plazo de la post emergencia, de desarrollar dentro de su marco de investigación en geodésicos un sistema productivo y de montaje de coberturas geodésicas muy baratas, que permitiesen cubrir rápidamente enseres, reuniones y actividades escolares en los pueblos más afectados. La investigación departamental con estructuras geodésicas en diversos materiales y diferentes métodos constructivos venía desde el año 2000. Se tenía el conocimiento y la experiencia y fue posible, en una semana, desarrollar el taller productivo con voluntarios estudiantes, gestionar fondos rápidos con la Universidad y con aportes extranjeros y lograr un sistema productivo eficiente que llegó con las primeras coberturas a terreno antes de fines de marzo 2010. “Esto no es una vivienda” era la primera advertencia que tenían impresas las coberturas geodésicas, que, sobre todo, no fueron regalos a la gente sino que sistemas desplegables, trasladables y almacenables para otras emergencias. Este escrito desarrolla el esquema estructural, el proceso productivo, la difusión web y los resultados obtenidos por la iniciativa.
