This thesis proposes strengthening the mobility, water and green corridors infrastructure as key elements in the regeneration of an industrial neighborhood of Santiago. The case of study was an industrial obsolescent area in the center of Santiago that used to serve as a railway connecting different factories on the early 1900s. The project recognized as key elements of the future transformation the same infrastructure that contributed to generate the initial dissociation and boundaries. In this case, the urban train to Til Til,

the Mapocho riverfront, and the Parque de Los Reyes

Park.

CORREA 3 ARCHITECTSMasterplan (Consulting)Maria Elena Mining Town / Antofagasta Region2010

Strategic plan to repopulate Maria Elena, the last private mining settlement associated with the extraction of saltpeter. As part of its administrative independence process (repopulating the Maria Elena community), the company SQM has commissioned a study looking at the possibilities for use transformations and new vocations in projecting a strategic vision for 2030.

As a result of the citizen participation we recognized the virtues and the opportunities for regeneration, generating five complementary strategies for Maria Elena’s development: Industrial Heritage Tourism

+ Hotels + Community Equipment + Community

orchards + Technological Mining Investigation

Centers.

Strategic plan related with growth projection and definition of standards in the Escondida Mining Company camps and different location for a new camp. These analyses covered everything from the repercussions associated with changes in standard work rules in high-altitude areas to definitions regarding applied sustainability in buildings.

Four-star mining hotel which sought to respond to the need for housing for high-level executives in mining companies and loan service businesses, located in the Sierra Gorda surroundings. The Hotel complement its offer with two new programs. In the first place, a Convention Center for 2,000 people and in the second place a high standard Mining Museum to strengthen the local tourism development.

Positioned in a strategic area in relation to the proximity and the concentration of mining sites, the Sierra Gorda Hotel originates from the necessity of the mining companies to outsource the administration and costs derived from maintaining the workers near to the mining sites.

The Hotel was built with modules and its program consists in middle standard accomodations, interior and exterior public spaces as well as community areas. The main design strategy consisted in the creation of an exterior boulevard as an element to connect the different institutional and lodging buildings.

Strategic plan for the growth projects and definitions of standards for the camps and industrial zones of the mining company Doña Inés de Collahuasi. The study results were translated into a series of Master plans for each and every one of the existing camps. In addition, we develop a zoning guide for the Industrial areas. As a conclusion of the population growth analysis in sites and according to the growth of the production processes projections, we determined the necessity of generating a new camp in the Coposa area. The Pukara project allowed us to design a mining camp from scratch, rethinking the current standards of habitability and comfort in mining settlements.

Study on growth projections for the camps of the mining company Escondida in Antofagasta Region (Chile). The result was expressed in the creation of a Master Plan for the areas of growth of existing camps and defined the location and design of a new settlement. The new camp design is based on new habitability and comfort standards that the company sought to position at territorial level. With more than 9,000 people capacity the camp incorporates a boulevard as main connection circulation to which the different equipment and recreational programs attach.

Strategy for optimizing and improving camp standards of company Doña Inés de Collahuasi. This master plan is conceived based on the necessity of improving the habitability and comfort standards of the different categories of workers in the Doña Ines de Collahuasi mining camp. The main strategy was to eliminate the low density pavilions that were significantly deteriorated. This operation allowed us to propose a new layout that would break with the monotony elevating the camp standards. The new layout consisted in 3 stories lodging buildings, connected internally and incorporating the existing buildings that can’t be replaced. In addition, the improvement and increase of leisure facilities.

Master plan of the new mining camp in order to accommodate new growth of the Gaby mine. The camp specifically has a capacity of 2,000 people in a total of 40,000 m2 organized in two strategic design operations. The first operation is to generate an Institutional entrance building that communicates the corporate image of the company. This building includes the amenities for the workers that will occupy the camp. The second operation consist of organize the leisure facilities around the central patio that defines the public space of the project and then, in a more sheltered area the lodging facilities.

Andina 244 Project is an expansion project that will require the installation of three new lodging areas for every worker gathered by production process. The camps are: Planta Valle, La Cabrerana y Riecillos.

Planta Valle Site camp corresponds to the largest camp of Andina 244 with a capacity of 6,000 people and it is related to the extraction and manufacture of the different copper products. It is because of this that said project is located on the highest area, therefore, on an environmental and geographical challenging territory which was determining in the design process.

La cabrerana Site camp is related to the maintenance of the sterile mine tailings result of the production process, stored in the Ovejeria Pond. This camp site was planned for a total of 1,600 people and it is located on a less challenging territory as well as close to cities like Santiago or Los Andes. Thanks to the climatic conditions the camp presents a more open layout and incorporates landscape design in addition to leisure facilities.

Riecillos corresponds to a minor camp tof the development of the Andina Expansion. This camp is constructed with modules and seeks to shelter a total of 400 people in charge of the operational processes of the new concentrator plant. With a total of 9,000 m2 this camp excels because of its large public space located between the lodging area and the main facilities building.
