El Plano Oficial de Urbanizaciòn de la Comuna de Santiago de 1939: Trazas comunes entre la ciudad moderna y la ciudad preexistente

Abstract

By drawing the limits between public and private, the architectural definition of the city through a plan generates precise ways of common life (unlike a master plan which only defines general conditions). Through an in-depth reading of Brunner’s Official Plan of 1939, this article analyses a proposal that, through lines that defined blocks’ and streets’ form –the common space–, managed to establish a new idea of urbanity for Santiago.
