Abstract

After the fire of the emblematic Diego Portales building in March 2006, located in the downtown Santiago de Chile, an intense debate began between those who wanted to leave the land for real estate investment, and who, on the contrary, appealed to the spirit original of the work as the center of the Third United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD III), and the Gabriela Mistral Metropolitan Cultural Center until September 1973. When the second position was won, an international tender awarded to Lateral Arquitectos was proclaimed. which considered a specialized library. Then, following the spirit of the original work, a public contest was held for integrated works of art, among which was selected a visualization of the genealogical trajectories of the building that would allow a prospective reflection. This article synthesizes this methodological proposal in a theoretical and practical way.

Keywords:
