| Summary: | The architectural heritage of Santiago de Chile was built predominantly with raw earth. Part of this heritage is still preserved, despite the transformations the capital of Chile experienced and the numerous earthquakes that hit it. However, the use of earth has not been properly valued, both because it is hidden under plasters, as well as because its presence has not been quantified to show its real importance. Therefore, as part of a larger investigation and using different sources of information, it has been possible to estímate the presence of earth material in Santiago. Thus, this article aims to show the historical development of the use of earth in the historical buildings of the capital, to describe the building techniques used between the sixteenth and twentieth centuries and their main characteristics, and to quantitatively demonstrate the presence of earthen buildings both in the past and nowadays. |
