The workshop explores speculative strategies for urban renewal, focusing on the vacant plot adjacent to the recently restored Palacio Pereira. The site’s program takes the relocation of the National Cultural Heritage Service and the National Archive as its point of departure.
The academic objective is to speculate on public-use programs that integrate into the complex, enhancing its civic presence. This approach aims to maximize the project’s public return, transforming it into an infrastructure that catalyzes urban life.By prioritizing public value, the project argues for state funding through its role as a strategic investment in the future of downtown Santiago.
The workshop brings together professors and students from the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Universidad de Chile, Universidad Nacional de San Martín (Argentina), The University of Tokyo, and Tokyo University of Science for a week of collaborative work in Santiago de Chile.
