more Parador Mirador Chacayes in the search result materialization of an idea to turn the idea due to the particular research conducted during the certification process in 2006 and is to bring up a location, build a device that added to the land existing landscape and highlight an event. Here I sit, rest, I stand in the way I watch, play or jump search of my site.
Form is one that not be a decoration and distinction connotes the sites chosen in a dry landscape and homogeneous.
Matter is the very soil, stones, wood and concrete to be intercepted leave their state become inert for the generatrix of the proposal, including condition and qualify the work.
1.1 THE ODYSSEY PROJECT TITLE
The following is the extract of the ideas raised in this period, from insomnia and dreams of making babies this project.
Matter and vacuum 1999
will find the real meaning of the pot inside in their ability to contain and not in its material form, the struggle between the material and the vacuum is not just a "sometimes" perfect combination to build the country we inhabit. It is in the empty space where life finally happens, and this is converted to founded the first stone (matter). Theoretically
design spaces we imagine such a character with a light, color, study all the possible moves the relations connections, and finally the role supports all.
... ... ... .... ... ......................... Our goal was then to experience and make the experience gave life to the idea.
from where the search field of action
From what each of us managed to accumulate in these 6 or more years of búsqueda.Desde the School of Architecture, under the academic wing. With the mind set out in the local socio-economic reality.
.. Located ... ... ......................... in a balance between academia and the profession
What I want?
From the outset and moved by the construction of the "bond beyond the form" The desire was to share the execution of the work with the community, involved in every stage of project design and of course learn from them the techniques inherited .
How do I?
is a question almost moral, try to answer the teacher in charge, my friends, I had many ask me as a mental exercise and then I answer it better from me and towards me. I make a gift to the chosen community.
What I can?
Until a week ago nothing, for months the money was earmarked for the implementation of the headquarters of the Chacayes no longer enough, change the mode of operation and the project suffers such modifications which loses its essence.
A year after starting my titling process I am alone with the theory, the sense of loss is such that it makes me re-invent everything.
If self-imposed trap was the money factor and even public policy, my new escape the force of these realities.
should cost $ nil to the community and me, donations are the only source of financing that allow me this time.
1.2 DEL TERRITORIO
1.2.1 El territorio, resultante entre la comunión de espacio y tiempo.
Espacio: como variedad de singularidades, fragmentos de un medio que es soporte y a la vez fuente de materiales y recursos.
El Territorio del hombre es un lugar propio en el medio dado, conformado por múltiples factores correspondientes a cada geografía y grupo social, el acto de fundar de territorializar determinara un área de influencia sobre el cual movernos
Tiempo: como variación de las mismas singularidades, proceso de permanente autoconstrucción.
condiciones como el clima, las migraciones, influjos desde other areas shape the character and the unfinished process its position on temporary, the constant is change.
1.2.2 The Territory is
The territory is never given is always changing, it is subjective to each individual and social group. Transforms the space provided under the hand of man, the domestic territorialised means at their convenience, either to keep out the weather, use of resources, to support their economy or simply log in with the environment.
Territory and immediately go hand in hand, genre territory as he built mental or physical boundaries between the known and the unknown. Housing, neighborhood, city, region mark different scales of belonging, all manifestations of the instinct that makes us sedentary position and anchor the soil.
1.2.3 Geographic and Demographic Background Communal
Lolol Commune is located in the Sixth Region of Libertador Bernardo O'Higgins, in the province of Colchagua. Its area is 598.5 km2. Bordered on the north Pumanque commune in the east with the municipalities of Santa Cruz and Chépica, south to the Maule Region and the West by the town of Walls. The etymology
Indian crab and Lolo Lol means Land of Holes, this indicates that the commune was formerly cangrejal, which coincides with vegosos presence of land. Lolol
born of the roads connecting small rural towns placed in the Central Zone of Chile, between the Maipo River Valley and the Maule.
It is surrounded by hills at the foot of the eastern side of the Cordillera de la Costa, the area known as "dry land areas." Dry farming is a subregion of the Central Zone of Chile, characterized by low population density, poor agricultural activity, timing and lack of jobs, serious soil erosion, isolation, dispersion, and disruption of human settlements, restrictions infrastructure and inadequate health budget. It is, therefore, depressed geographical area in terms of development.
According to the 2002 census, the commune has 6,203 inhabitants. Of whom 2,150 live in the urban sector, while 4,053 live in rural areas. The population density is approx. 10 inhabitants per km2 and the rate of population growth is 0.007 year. (Census data from 1992 and 2002, INE)
In terms of land, the town is set in the northern section along the route Santa Cruz - Walls, centered on Lolol, and a set of scattered settlements in the section south of the territory. Consequently, the header is located eccentrically respect of communal land, without presenting clear other urban subcenters. With 55 settlements homogeneous, slightly more than half is over 200.
Winter temperatures vary between 0 º and 18 º C. occasional frosts during summer the maximum temperature can reach 35 º C.
A central feature of the Commune is the shortage of rainfall, which determines a rainfall ranging between 50 and 500 mm. year, increasing from north to south and inland to the coast.
Surface water is obtained from the basins of the streams lolol and Nilahue, which in turn feed on the rains. The lack of natural systems or artificial water retention significantly affect the irrigation-dependent agricultural activities, especially in summer.
The landscape is heavily disturbed by human hands, both for current operations as those in another era. The vegetation is mostly scrub and grassland, with a presence of native forest in an area just under 10%.
1.2.4
Economic Background Agriculture is the main source of income. Predominance of traditional crops (wheat, peas, corn, lentils and beans). On the other hand, livestock production is for sheep and goats and in lesser extent, cattle. The lack of rational plans of livestock management is affecting a progressive degradation of agricultural soils, even so, in recent years have increased plantings of vines and fruit.
vine plantations have been encouraged by the recent incorporation of the commune to the Designation of Origin Wines Colchagua Valley, while it has introduced new mining techniques, which has led to a recovery of land sited on hillsides. Vineyard plantings have had its greatest development in the areas of Finance Lolol, La Palma and Ránguil. Regarding the fruit, their exploitation covered in 2003 some 218 hectares, with the presence of citrus, avocados and almonds.
Regarding forestry, the area devoted to these purposes in 2003 amounted to almost 5,600 hectares. These activities involve the introduction of new species, purely commercial purposes, without proper management of scarce existing native forest in the area .
micro system 1.2.5 The territorial Los Robles - The Chacayes
is located, 30 miles south-east of the town of Lolol commune which is administratively. Los Robles - The Chacayes is comprised of approximately 40 families that fail to add up to 150 people. is a territory boundary, bound up with the community of the peaks Chépica East. In an area estimated at over 3 000 hectares. Towards the south side is the top of the Oaks, which gives the town its name. This hill, with 912 meters is the highest in this part of the coastal range.
A brief description indicates that the floor of the Oaks - The Chacayes has abundant groundwater, which allowed the growth of a rich flora, represented by Bold, liters, quillayes, pataguas, myrtle and other shrubs as lingues corcolenes, rosemary , michay, Chacayes seedlings of cinnamon (the tree sacredness of our ancestors) and, of course, imposing oak trees to the top of the hill.
Chacayes The sector is among the few places (within the system) that remain on hand virgin forest enterprises. Not so, the effect of goat rearing, this activity to 600 meters. supports the local economy, which over the years achieve soil erosion.
The spatial conformation of the village has its origins in 1400 when he was known for the gold mines of the Incas. From that time is recorded only by the numerous and extensive stone walls that marked the territory. The dam and references School are the first major is a small but growing area of \u200b\u200binterest. The second is the social center of both towns for years has had the role of link between both sectors is the space where the community gathers. It currently has an enrollment of 34 students by 40% belong to Chacayes sector. Daily children walk 10 km of road intermittently between ups and downs, the best way to get around this is to use a donkey as a means of transportation, at first glance this might seem an anecdotal situation but the implication of so many other moves take away this regard. Social organization, feeding animals, respect for the environment, speak of local lifestyle and the close relationship between people and territory.
1.3 LANDSCAPE
. The Cordillera of the Andes, as an extension
far. The
open. The rocky soil
In this context, the land has historically taken a key role, and was subtracted from the subtraction of the matter that makes up the built environment. The land abandoned the anonymity of the dark and damp foundation associated with that only serves to support and blooms in mud and stone walls.
local 1.3.1 Building components
The Siege of Branches Branches
The fence is one element that best sums up the qualities of that territory, have been used to build the pens goats, to reinforce the stone walls dividing, is a plain weave but beautiful, her image continues to draw a translucent and linearity repeatedly in almost all sections of the course.
The
Pirca The Boundaries between properties are material traces through the use of stones, stacked and secured only through its own weight.
Mud Wall The wall of mud raw material of all local buildings, houses, barns. You may find it in block form or as Adobe in the picture, where all three join elemntos "Branches - Stones - Barro.
PLACE I had gone a dozen times here, and every time I passed by "alturita" had a great feeling and a desire to speak than ever hide, this was a project that someday we would do with friends as a gift to the spirit. Is one of those places that appear only when you get on, which belong to the memory of their closest people but are a mystery to visitors.
is private land owners are Don Rigo, Ms. Purisima and his family, they produce artisanal goat cheese and raise their animals in this vast mountain.
From this weekend Don Rigo, Mrs. Purisima and I are partners in this project allowed the intervention of the space that I determine in its field, offering their support at the time of construction, and not even know they will have a confidence scare away motivates me.
Space travel appears finally chosen with company's owner, taught me the "best view" and what a surprise! It is a magical place.
I see all the mountains of the Andes without interruption as if summarizing chile in that long are 180 degree valley and mountain, I'm on the highest point and the silence is the second attribute.
1.4.1 Fate
The place is perfect and has everything we ask, do not want to conquer and transform just a scenario, a device that added to the land and raising awareness around of its existence, its own reality and of course, that view privileged.
The tour we did together, the owner asked me several times how many square feet would this project? and try as they could not determine an approximate number. He did not conceive of given size is a problem but rather an opportunity wing, how to explain? to be too small to alter the existing bad way but you need to have the right size to make it appear. Just try to say it was small but it was widespread.
Then I get an answer that would owner happy this will be a magnificent project of one million linear meters but done in a few square meters. Understanding the important thing is to build a look.
Size is certainly one of the factors that define ranges within which exerts a space effect, determines qualifying categories and add to the form but not the truth about the qualities or spatial qualities. If my goal is to make the place and from what I see emerge, the way forward is another.
Natural Landscape has a unique geometry, and any intervention own space will be a counterfeit, for more than try to match or blend in with existing.
The device, which takes its artificial condition and uses it as a valid building is the one to finally give clues about the design, no need to build a great place (m2), if an accent within a homogeneous territory.
How To summarize the ideas, desires, aesthetics own an object and also generate a location?
1.6 THE MATTER
Matter is finally the moment of truth through it the architecture, life can be full or empty, light or shade, all skin and bone range is possible, she is transformed, age is polished is broken, hollow, molded. Matter says, by its nature, has its own language, you must listen carefully to all senses alert to discover your message, just so you can shine and stay consistent.
build mode called Vernacular Architecture, what is and is done with the minimum with most of the territory it occupies itself, used in most of the cases for a local economy. Done with and from what's under my feet, making it exists in a new space, from which the environment becomes, appears.
While the first approach to the proposal stems from personal reasons, the spell caused by the place, in parallel the relationship between discourse and the built work, I approach the project.
Process Realization of the idea is a unique moment, full of energy and uncertainty, faith in the projections is the main light. Architecture is the architecture built and no other.
As stated Peter Zumthor:
"For me, the core characteristic of all architectural work lies in the act of building, it is here, when they rise and concrete materials are assembled, where the architecture thought becomes part of the real world. " 2
" Architecture is always a practical matter, it is not abstract but concrete. A project on paper is not architecture, but only a more or less flawed than it is architecture, comparable with the musical notes. Music precise execution. The architecture needs to be executed. " 2
Agree with the point raised by Zumthor, just as music is, as their enforcement tools architecture is due to matter and the technique used, and no two pieces alike, we can not play elsewhere. The architecture is live, you have to be within it, should leave the paper and built. Rafael Moneo said:
"I agree with those who say that architecture is a product of the mind and as such can be conceived, represented, described. I'm even willing to admit the metaphorical use of the word architecture is continuously and yet, in my opinion such use transcends architecture and reaches its true 'status' when done, when comes into being in that order, when it becomes the materiality of the built and takes the form of building. " 3
Matter, wood, stone notes will be our hands and tools, instruments, compose and perform the work requires dedication and love for creation.

3 Moneo Vallés, José Rafael. Against indifference as standard; Anyway. Santiago, Chile : Ed ARQ. 1995. p.31.
Wood: From Latin, matter, mean, matter, material, 'Matter of the tree. "
From the first approach about what I can do for my degree, the idea that it should be something that has a very low cost, preferably zero. This is the main reason that comes to 24 3x4 oak beams, which built part of the project.
disarmament They come from a road bridge, about 20 years withstood the weather and were well used and battered, clearly that their role was that, being the structure, the ground which again and again transiting vehicles. The oil, water oil, damaged part of their body, but brings prestige that matter impregnated promised me that something so beautiful existed under dirt.
Thus began this process, we break the soil surface of the bridge, about 50 nails were used as tie between the two parts was necessary to soak the wood in oil to give in and we could get them all, approximately two work hard this week after that we had the pieces ready to be treated.
Subsequently, for 2 weeks, the task was to resurrect the dead wood, scrape and grind all surfaces of each piece. At this stage the promises were fulfilled remained oak wood, the grain, color, texture were intact after all those years of work.
1.7 THE WAY, Mirador over Parador in Chacayes
As the name clearly indicates the project is made up of two parts, two points of tension together through the eye, a way and a measure.
Both sites have the quality of vision, height 750 m and small vegetation collaborate on this, the road is the main link between the town of Lolol, the towns of oaks, Chacayes Santa Cruz Rosal even if it is to take an alternative. Must pass by sporadically while everyone in the sector, is the main road. All the way there is no single place where there are only stop fences, stone pines and an occasional house far far away.
With selected places to intervene and materials in warehouse, now the question is what is the way of bringing these matters?, How to build the device and all the ideas raised above?.
Finally, the decision passed by tracing edges and building surfaces gracias a la suma de líneas, esto a modo de un dibujo tridimensional, una malla lineal que se posa sobre el suelo, lo moldea y contiene lo existente.
El punto uno es un parador, un espacio de descanso a orilla de camino, ubicado 1 metro sobre el nivel de este, a partir de un modulo lineal construido en hormigón y colocado de eje a eje a una distancia de un metro, se traza en el suelo una elipse de radios 5.1 y 3 metros que contiene una roca existente en el lugar del emplazamiento y que puede utilizarse como asiento. Las line as que conforman el ovalo se cortan por el plano del suelo, generando distintas alturas del elemento.
