Abstract

Starting from Roberto Matta's proposal developed in Italy, the idea rises as an intervention within the context of urban renewal in the west side of Santiago. This project, located in the Parque de los Reyes, develops from a tridimentional conjunction of a cilinder and a biridectional triangle. Both sumarize the idea of virtually joining two directions: the Pacific and the Mediterranean, and projecting them through a vertical axis which symbolizes a link with the universe. Matta's paintings are understood as the building's windows, opening to the cosmic landscape and showing new horizons. The project goes beyond its function and becomes a true cultural event.
