PREMIERE OF BOOK HISTORY OF MODERN ARCHITECTURE IN CHILE (1884 1929)
Introduction:
Digging in the origins of modern architecture in Chile is observing the year closed the nineteenth century and that initiate the twentieth century. This exercise, which focuses on national history, necessarily, explores the particular issues of the "experience of modernity", to paraphrase Marshall Berman [1] - we have had in Chile of the past today, or so far not even close. It is therefore a review of the circumstances that established internal motivations that determined the fate of modernity in the country.
The intention of this paper is to bring a new angle of main vicissitudes of urban planning and architecture that developed between 1894 and 1929, understanding that these phenomena are critical in the emergence of modernity in Chile that were expressed during this period and the confluence in a single volume does not exist until now.
the case, the text has been divided into four chapters. The first gives an account of the historical, social and political factors that determined the social life in Chile and appear related to an interest in promoting changes on the city, especially Santiago. In his speech attended by two fundamental facts, namely: first seen the first housing solutions, an issue which is closely related company the transmission of modern architecture as you want to incorporate an ethical background, and second, come early planning of urban transformation as an ideal to aspire to the rational modification of the urban and social development.
A second chapter notes that the city is undertaking a series of initiatives that relate to the aesthetic aspirations of nineteenth century development hygienists academicism inspired by European, especially Parisian transformations resulting from Haussmann's plans. In the same context there are other initiatives that under a more rational attempt to open new channels for the modern city. We also want to investigate other types of settlements, within and outside the capital, attended also to reveal the dawn of modernity and recorded regional alternatives are not always homogeneous, with causes and effects. A third section
realize that architecture is in the multiple use of the styles of the rebellion against all forms of academic preset order. In this sense, the first part of the study is dedicated to research on Academics, teaching, dissemination and sense of social representation. As a counterpart, the anti-academic, ie, eclecticism or "parallel architectures," a term that used in recognition of its meaning prescribed by Eliash and Moreno [1] , becomes a way to anticipate the variety is a background behind modernity as a form that aims to heterogeneity rather than uniformity, an issue which in itself seems to coincide with conceptual inconsistency of using several streams at once without ideological background. This final section reviews four architectural trends that are considered essential for the establishment of modernity in Chile: The eclectic historicism, Art Nouveau, the national restoration and Art Deco, the latter, one of the ways she found widespread acceptance, even matches from its geometric vocabulary neoindigenism Chile. All these streams are the formal preamble to modern architecture that was developed in Chile since 1929. Genealogy
The final chapter of modern architecture in Chile has ventured into the issues that dissolved in various articles published in Chile, is the incorporation of new principles of modern architecture, and appear as constants of discourse, namely: Arts and architecture, its conflicts and encounters with the art, the role of the modern architect, urban problems and land occupation, cultural independence, national restoration identidady, stylish and modern manner, form and function, the introduction of a dogma; y nuevas técnicas constructivas, la materialización de la arquitectura moderna, son temas que forman un cuerpo teórico propio.
