Architectural fictions: a means for communicating identity
"Identity" is a cultural construction that has developed in space and time from the emotions of those who have inhabited it. There arises the phenomenon of architecture, understood as "the process of inhabit with sense". The Architecture Research Workshop at the University of Chile led by prof. Andrew Weil has been proposed to reveal the national identity through the exercise of architectural proposals originated in the imaginary city of Santiago, introduced by Carlos Franz in his essay The wall buried. The findings of the research conducted since 2008, this article develops a general theory of architectural fiction, which weaves through the concepts: text, context and meta-text. From it, we analyze three architectural projects developed in the research workshop, which we stand out for their ability to show key aspects of our identity as Chilean people.
