Abstract
Se analizan dos obras recientes que forman parte del incipiente “urbanismo de la madera”: el Centro Cultural Arauco, de la oficina Elton Léniz (2016), y la Biblioteca de Constitución, de Sebastián Irarrázaval (2015). Más allá de sus valores específicos, ambos proyectos son pioneros en la construcción de una cultura material que resignifica la madera. Mientras el Centro Cultural Arauco busca definir su lenguaje a través de dicho material, la Biblioteca de Constitución construye una espacialidad propia a partir de una estructura de madera montada sobre muros cortafuegos o deslindes de hormigón. Reconociendo el “espíritu del lugar”, ambos proyectos contribuyen a consolidar la madera como un proyecto estratégico territorial.
Abstract
Two recent works that form part of the incipient “Wood urbanism” have been analysed: Centro Cultural Arauco, by the Elton Léniz office (2016), and Biblioteca de Constitución, by Sebastián Irarrázaval (2015). Beyond their specific value, both projects are pioneers in the construction of a material culture that gives a new meaning to wood. While the cultural centre in Arauco aims at defining its language through this material, the library in Constitución builds its own spatiality from a timber structure mounted on firewalls or concrete demarcations. Recognizing the “spirit of the place”, both projects contribute to the consolidation of wood as a strategic territorial project.
