Abstract

The notion of heritage is in constant revision, demanded by new meanings in the city and its inhabitants. The research studied two neighborhoods in Santiago de Chile, their heritage values, ​​and urban imaginations. The hypothesis was proposed that these express the tension between the tangible and the perception of the city at different scales and would be key to articulating architectural projects that solve problems in their communities. Some triggering questions were: What is the relationship between the real (tangible) and the imagined (perception)? What is the role of urban design for the construction of communities and places?

A series of reading operations are proposed, which describe the mobile and static areas where conjectures and images rest on two neighborhoods to work with students: World Musicians - Chile Population, in San Joaquín, and San Eugenio in the Central Station district - Santiago. The presentation exposes the process and result of this research project of the UNIACC University Architecture career carried out during the years 2020 and 2021.

Keywords: Urban imaginaries, neighborhood, industrial heritage, teaching instruments.

Topic: Landscape analysis and management. Cultural landscapes.
