| Sumario: | The need to link more closely architecture teaching to the territory led the academics of the School of Architecture of the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso to the creation of Open City in 1971. It was conceived as a park-laboratory where professors and students could experience the construction of works in their true dimensions.
More than 50 years after its foundation, this article analyzes the process of construction and evolution of Hospedería Colgante, the last project of the complex. It was built between 2004 and 2007. Departing from the review of the constructive process and regarding spatial condition as the interpretation criterion, it is questioned how domestic space conception can be the result of the application of a technical solution rather than the formal basis of prefiguration.
The hypothesis guiding the analysis is that the spatial condition of Hospedería Colgante is the product of a structural experiment, and the interior space is the unifying element of the technical components that make it up. The rapid execution and the low cost of the construction give the work the merit of functioning as a prototype of contemporary housing. |
