This article, with its origins in a doctoral dissertation in development, aims to advance in the knowledge of a paradigmatic work in patrimonial Chilean architecture: the church of the Benedictine Monastery of the Santísima Trinidad de Las Condes (1962-1964), the first modern work to be declared national monument in Chile (1981). By way of genealogical record, the article proposes a review of the project departing from a critical assessment of its precedents. First, we present a series of proposals developed in Chile, originated at the heart of the Instituto de Arquitectura de Valparaíso. In this regard, along with the projects developed for the monastery by Jaime Bellalta (1953-1954), we include the proposals led by Alberto Cruz: the Capilla de Pajaritos (1952) and the studies for the monastery’s church (1960). Complementarily, the so far unknown link between the monastery and the church of San Pedro Mártir of the Spanish architect Miguel Fisac in the Dominican seminary of Alcobendas in Madrid (1955-1960) will also be presented, thus contributing new elements to its historiography, traditionally linked to the Corbusian tradition. Finally, on the basis of the previous study, focusing on the architectural understanding of the liturgical requirements, three central aspects are considered for the case studied. These aspects continue to apply fully to contemporary sacred architecture, viz. “light as generator of the form,” the “dramatization of the liturgical act” and architecture as a “symbolic machine.” Key words: church of the Las Condes Monastery, sacred modern architecture, liturgical space, light. Comprender una obra a cabalidad será siempre un acto inconcluso. Este artículo, con su origen en una tesis doctoral en desarrollo, pretende avanzar en el conocimiento de una obra patrimonial paradigmática de la arquitectura chilena: la iglesia del Monasterio Benedictino de la Santísima Trinidad de las Condes (1962-1964), la primera obra moderna declarada monumento nacional en Chile (1981). A modo de memoria genealógica, se propone una revisión de los precedentes del proyecto. Por un lado, se presentan una serie de propuestas desarrolladas al alero del Instituto de Arquitectura de Valparaíso. Al respecto, junto con los proyectos desarrollados para el monasterio por Jaime Bellalta (1953-1954), cabe destacar las propuestas encabezadas por Alberto Cruz: la Capilla de Pajaritos (1952) y los estudios para la iglesia del monasterio (1960). Por otra vía, en el contexto internacional, se presenta la relación, hasta ahora inédita, con la Iglesia San Pedro Mártir del español Miguel Fisac, en el teologado dominico de Alcobendas en Madrid (1955-1960), matizando así el análisis historiográfico que ha sufrido tradicionalmente la obra sobre su filiación corbusiana. Finalmente, desde los precedentes estudiados, centrados en la comprensión arquitectónica de los requerimientos litúrgicos, se enuncian tres aspectos que se consideran centrales en el caso de estudio, aspectos que continuarían plenamente vigentes para la arquitectura sacra contemporánea: la “luz como generatriz de la forma”, la “dramatización del acto litúrgico” y la arquitectura como “máquina simbólica”.Palabras clave: Iglesia Monasterio Las Condes, arquitectura sacra moderna, espacio litúrgico, luz.
