Abstract

The project presented here is part of an initiative carried out in the 2nd year studio at the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Chile in 2015. Its purpose was to execute a temporary but meaningful architectural device in a run down and semi abandoned public space. On the other hand the project intended to bring teaching and learning into a tangible reality, confronting students with the actual place of intervention, encouraging collective work with users in the initial stages, and the participation of students themselves in the building and assembling process later. In this perspective, the brief asked the students to develop a small scale design for the upper terrace and catwalks of the San Borja Highrise Housing Scheme, of which its public spaces are now in a position of vulnerability and manifest deterioration. From the set of designs that were developed by students together with relevant community stakeholders (neighborhood associations) the best proposal was chosen through a modality of architectural competition. The criteria for this choice were both high urban impact and a very restrictive use of resources, within the conceptual framework that we called fragile architectures.
