Pabellón del nogal. Talagante, Chile, 2016

Abstract

Given its nature, an expansion should always take a position on physical preexistences (either friendly, indifferent, defiant, and so on). However, it is not obvious that the design for a house expansion should also take a position on intangible pre-existences (such as discipline, culture, history, and so on). The example shows an attempt to extend not only a house but also the constellation of precedents that the commission follows, even if only in a small autonomy redoubt.
