| Summary: | In the field of the intervention of pre-existing buildings, it is no longer possible to avoid founded decisions. The tension between the creative capacity and the possibility of rationalizing the processes that account for the project is defining: it is necessary to state the hypotheses, inform the processes that will shape the type of intervention and the reasons behind it. The intervention of an existing structure usually proposes a way of understanding the project as a dialectic relation between what remains and what is incorporated, which may be well represented by the existence of a host and his guest. The history of the building is not only important for its values, but for the recognition of the production conditions, as a material and artistic work. It is, then, a biography inscribed in the very material of the building that must be unraveled for design purposes, and which lies in the constructive order that characterizes it and from which the parameters for the intervention emerge. The Olympic Pool of Arica can be a case whose interpretation contributes to the definition of how to intervene this type of heritage.
