Abstract

In the north of Chile, there are four port-cities; Arica, Iquique, Tocopilla and Antofagasta. Cities that have in common, geographical characteristics that shaped and confined their location, which together with the social and urban conditions, configured a way of inhabiting an extreme landscape. Between 1936 and 1976, the housing complexes built by public, private and mixed institutions not only contributed to the consolidation and growth of these cities, but also became benchmarks and distinctive cases in the production of modern architecture, installing a architectural modernity in an extreme landscape. Selecting the city of Iquique as a case study, this research seeks to deepen the dialectic between the urban planning instrument and the housing complexes, in order to determine their role in the configuration of the city and as fundamental urban pieces for its development.
