IN 1957, EMILIO DUHART HAROSTEGUY WAS COMMISSIONED TO PLAN THE PHYSICAL GROWTH OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CONCEPCIÓN FOR THENEXT 25 YEARS. WHAT WOULD INITIALLY BE THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MASTER PLAN FOR THE ENTIRE UNIVERSITY, BECAME AN ELABORATEURBAN-ARCHITECTURAL PLAN, SINCE THE COMMISSION ALSO INCLUDED THE DRAWING UP OF THE ASSOCIATED ARCHITECTURAL PROJECTS.THIS ENTAILED A DOUBLE OPPORTUNITY FOR DUHART: TO PROVIDE A COHERENT STRUCTURE TO THE ENTIRE URBAN ORGANIZATION OF THEUNIVERSITY CAMPUS AND TO SHAPE THE PUBLIC SPACE OF THE WHOLE BY MEANS OF THE PRECISE CON?GURATION DE?NED BY THE NEWARCHITECTURE. THIS PAPER ATTEMPTS TO REVEAL THE PROJECT CRITERIA ASSEMBLED BY THE ARCHITECT FOR THE CONFORMATION OF THEPLAZA DEL FORO ABIERTO (OPEN FORUM SQUARE), A PUBLIC SPACE THAT CAN BE CONSIDERED AS THE SYNTHESIS OF THE ARGUMENTSELABORATED BY DUHART FOR THE GENERAL PLAN. THIS SQUARE, WHICH THE ARCHITECT HIMSELF DESIGNATED AS THE CENTER OF GRAVITYOR HEART OF THE UNIVERSITY, HAS BECOME, SIXTY YEARS AFTER ITS GENESIS, ONE OF THE PUBLIC PLACES WITH THE GREATEST SENSE OFBELONGING AND IDENTITY FOR THE CITY OF CONCEPCION - THE PREMISE UPON WHICH THIS ARTICLE IS BASED.

THE PHYSICAL SEPARATION OF FUNCTIONS WITHIN THE CITY PROCLAIMED BY THE CIAMS (CONGRESO INTERNACIONAL DE ARQUITECTURA MODERNA) ATHENS CHARTER?WAS TRANSFORMED INTO THE SYNTHESIS OF MODE RN URBAN DESIGN AS WELL AS THE DRIVING FORCE B EHIND ITS DECLINE AND FALL. IN THE 1960S, GENERALISED CRITICISM OF "THE FUNCTIONALISATION", "RATIONALISATION" AND "MECHANISATION" OF THE MODERN CITY DREW A VEIL OF REJECTION FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. "THE SEMINARIO DEL GRAN SANTIAGO" WAS HELD IN CHILE IN 1957, CALLING TOGETHER DIVERSE SPECIALISTS TO ADDRESS THE URBAN PROBLEMS ARISING IN THE CAPITAL CITY FROM A BROADER PERSPECTIVE. ONE OF THE PARTICIPANTS WAS THE ARCHITECT EMILIO DUHART HAROSTEGUY, WHO UNDERTOOK A DETAILLED ANALYSIS AND DREW UP URBAN PROPOSALS FOR SANTIAGO. ONE CAN DETECT A PRIORI IN HIS EXHIBITION A DIRECT INFLUENCE FROM THE PRINCIPLES OF MODERN ARCHITECTURE, BUT ALSO A CERTAIN INTELLECTUAL AUTONOMY WHEN PROPOSING URBAN MODELS FOR PUBLIC SPACE.

THE GROWTH OF 3D CONSTRUCTION PRINTING NEEDS APPROPRIATE INTEGRATION INTO THE PLANNING AND EXECUTION PHASES OF BUILDING PROJECTS. WITH THIS AIM, THE ARCHITECTURE, ENGINEERING, AND CONSTRUCTION SECTOR (AEC) HAS BEEN INCREASINGLY ADOPTING BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING (BIM) SYSTEMS TO SYNCHRONIZE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PROCESSES. THIS STUDY PROPOSES A TECHNICAL WORKFLOW TO MANAGE 3D CONSTRUCTION PRINTING INTO BIM MODELS, EVALUATING VARIOUS PROCEDURES ACCORDING TO CONSTRUCTION ELEMENT FEATURES. BASED ON MATURE SOFTWARE PLATFORMS, THE RESEARCH DETAILS THE DATA TRANSFER PROCESS USING A CASE STUDY OF A SINGLE-STORY HOME. THE CASE DELVES INTO DESIGN PROCEDURES FOR CONSTRUCTING WALLS OF VARIED SHAPES, ADJUSTMENTS IN WIDTH, JOINTS, OPENINGS, TEXTURES, FILLINGS, AND THE INSERTION OF REINFORCEMENTS AND SERVICES WHILE ALSO DISCUSSING REQUIREMENTS OF OTHER BUILDING ELEMENTS. WORK STEPS FOR MANAGING DESIGN INFORMATION AND CONTROLLING PRINTING MACHINES ARE DESCRIBED. THE STUDY

ESTE LIBRO RECUPERA Y PUBLICA POR PRIMERA VEZ EL EXPEDIENTE TÉCNICO DEL PLAN REGULADOR DE CONCEPCIÓN 1960?1980, ELABORADO POR EMILIO DUHART Y ROBERTO GOYCOOLEA: UNA OBRA CLAVE EN LA HISTORIA DEL URBANISMO MODERNO EN CHILE QUE, HASTA AHORA, PERMANECÍA DISPERSA E INACCESIBLE. LA RECONSTRUCCIÓN DE SUS 36 LÁMINAS, RESULTADO DEL TRABAJO SISTEMÁTICO DE CRISTIÁN BERRÍOS Y DEL ARCHIVO RESGUARDADO POR SERGIO BAERISWYL, OFRECE UNA MIRADA INÉDITA SOBRE EL PENSAMIENTO URBANO DE DUHART. CON UNA INTRODUCCIÓN DE FERNANDO PÉREZ OYARZUN, EL VOLUMEN REAFIRMA LA VIGENCIA DEL URBANISMO COMO PROYECTO MORFOLÓGICO, AL TIEMPO QUE RECONOCE A DUHART COMO UNO DE LOS GRANDES MAESTROS DE LA ARQUITECTURA CHILENA. MÁS QUE UNA COMPILACIÓN DOCUMENTAL, ESTA PUBLICACIÓN INVITA A REDESCUBRIR UNA CIUDAD CONCEBIDA COMO TOTALIDAD Y A VALORAR EL URBANISMO COMO FORMA DE CONOCIMIENTO PROYECTUAL. ARCHIVO FACSIMILAR, HERRAMIENTA DE ESTUDIO Y HOMENAJE, ESTE LIBRO OFRECE UNA BASE CONCRETA PARA PENSAR EL FUTURO DE NUESTRAS CIUDADES.
