Four recent projects:

San Damian House
Restricted competition submission, Santiago de Chile
2007


The new building for The School of Design of the P Catholic University of Chile
Ideas competition, Santiago de Chile
January 2008

First Prize
Architect: Sebastian Irarrazaval
Associated Architects: Martin Labbé and Carolina Portugueis

The competition was open to faculty teachers and former students. Participants were asked to present project portfolios and ideas for the new building. The jury was composed by the faculty dean, the faculty directors and the university infrastructure director.
The five stories building will be placed in the faculty Campus in Santiago de Chile and poses a structural system based on light buttresses that free interior spaces, in order to achieve maximum flexibility.
A the same time, in order to achieve greatest comfort standards (light and ventilation), inner spaces have double orientation, enhanced by a circulation placed in the perimeter.
