MITOS MODERNOS. EFICIENCIA Y CONFORT EN LA PUBLICIDAD DE LAS REVISTAS CHILENAS DE ARQUITECTURA, 1930-1950

Mondragón, H & Wagemann, E. 2020

El artículo aborda el papel que desempeñaron los avisos que se publicaron en un conjunto de revistas de arquitectura chilenas entre 1930 y 1950, en la construcción, difusión e instalación de una significación sociocultural de la idea eficiencia y confort mediante una operación simple pero efectiva: traducir al habla común el lenguaje técnico de las innovaciones científico-técnicas.

RESILIENCIA ES MÁS QUE RESISTENCIA: DOS EXPERIENCIAS DEL TERREMOTO Y TSUNAMI DE 2010

Wagemann, E., Greene, M., D’Alencon, R. 2020

Ante una catástrofe de origen natural, la resistencia es una condición necesaria pero no suficiente. Una construcción puede resistir un terremoto o un aluvión, pero eso no significa que la vida que albergaba vuelva a ocurrir de manera normal. De ahí que, en base a la experiencia tras el terremoto de 2010, este texto abogue por la resiliencia como un concepto clave, cuyo alcance va mucho más allá que la mera resistencia material. ARQ (Santiago) 105, pp. 80-93.

LOCALISING URBAN SUSTAINABILITY INDICATORS: THE CEDEUS INDICATOR SET, AND LESSONS FROM AN EXPERT-DRIVEN PROCESS IN CITIES

Steiniger, S., Wagemann, E., de la Barrera, F., Molinos-Senante, M., Villegas, R., de la Fuente, H., Vives, A., Arce, G., Herrera, JC., Carrasco, J., Pasten, P., Munoz, JC., Barton, JR., 2020. 

In this paper, we present a set of 29 indicators designed to characterise urban sustainability in Chile, which we also expect to be relevant to other cities, particularly in the Global South where issues of poverty and inequality are prevalent. We first outline the process of selecting the indicators through expert consultation. Then we present selected indicators, and the variables used to measure them. Subsequently the set is applied to six Chilean cities that are diverse in terms of population, socio-economic conditions and geography. We show that some indicators highlight negative nationwide trends that are common to the cities, while other indicators reveal notable differences that can be traced back to their local contexts. The indicator development process is critically examined and policy recommendations are given. Cities, vol.101. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cities.2020.102683

ENERGY-EFFICIENT REAL ESTATE OR HOW IT IS PERCEIVED BY POTENTIAL HOMEBUYERS IN FOUR LATIN AMERICAN COUNTRIES

Encinas, F., Marmolejo-Duarte, C., Wagemann, E., Aguirre, C. 2019

This article analyses how energy efficiency regulatory frameworks have been developed in Argentina, Brazil, Mexico and Chile, within a context of developing countries, and it discusses if this context has been able to influence a culture of buildings’ energy efficiency in consumers. An online survey was applied to consumers who wanted to buy a house, aiming to understand their position regarding sustainability, and the role of the state versus the individual role, among other issues.

LIVING ON THE MOVE, DWELLING BETWEEN TEMPORALITY AND PERMANENCE IN SYRIA

Al-Asali, W., Wagemann, E., Ramage, M.H, 2019

Although the international displacement of people caused by the Syrian conflict has dominated the media for the past several years, an inside story that is less visible requires more attention: that of internal displacement. This paper reviews two cases of internally displaced families in Syria: a collective centre in government-controlled Damascus (schools) and a planned camp in Afes village in a rebel-held area near Idlib.

NEED FOR ADAPTATION. TRANSFORMATION OF TEMPORARY HOUSES

Wagemann, E., 2017

This study analysed temporary houses in Chile and Peru to illustrate how families modify them with or without external support. The paper underlines that guidance must be given on how to alter them safely and on how to incorporate the temporary solution into the permanent structure, because families adapt their houses whether or not they are so designed.

RESILIENCE, RECONSTRUCTION AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN CHILE

Wagemann, E. & Greene, M., 2019

The reduction of risks from natural disasters initially arises from a humanitarian perspective, but in recent years it has been associated with the concepts of sustainable development and resilience, since it reduces the economic, social, and environmental consequences of disasters. This chapter explores the transformative potential of reconstruction programs through experiences from Chile, aiming at enriching the evolutionary perspective towards resilience and sustainable development, incorporating not only the future reduction of risks but also the possibility of improving existing, and many times long-lasting, prior deficiencies. This approach aims at using the disaster as an opportunity.

DISASTER RISK REDUCTION INCLUDING CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION FOR HOUSING AND SETTLEMENTS

Wagemann, E. & Boano, C., 2017

Housing is essential to the well-being and development of most societies. It is a complex asset, with links to livelihoods, health, education, security, and social and family stability. Housing acts as a social centre for families, a source of pride and cultural identity, and a resource of both political and economic importance. In 1972, John Turner pointed out that the word ‘housing’ can be used as a noun or as a verb. The noun ‘housing’ describes a ‘commodity or product’, while the verb ‘to house’ describes the ‘process or activity of housing’ (Turner and Fichter 1972, p. 151). According to this distinction, housing must be understood as what ‘it is’ and what ‘it does’ in people’s lives, and therefore, people’s experience in the way houses are promoted, built or used becomes crucial.

CIUDADES Y CAMBIO CLIMÁTICO EN CHILE: RECOMENDACIONES DESDE LA EVIDENCIA CIENTÍFICA

Muñoz, J. C.; Barton, J.; Frías, D.; Godoy, A.; Bustamante, W.; Cortés, S.; Munizaga, M.; Rojas, C.; Wagemann, E., 2019

En el marco de las preparaciones del Gobierno de Chile frente a la COP25, y como parte de las actividades del Comité Científico COP25 establecido por el Ministerio de Ciencia, Tecnología, Conocimiento e Innovación, este documento tiene tres propósitos. El primero es reunir información de varios documentos de política pública relacionados con ciudades y cambio climático en Chile. El segundo es destacar la situación urbana en Chile en relación con los temas de mitigación (movilidad; edificación, equipamiento y energía; y residuos y economía circular), adaptación (riesgos y desastres naturales; infraestructura y espacios verdes; y vulnerabilidad y salud) y gobernanza. El tercero es presentar propuestas de acción en formato de fichas que pretenden contribuir a reducir las emisiones que surgen desde ciudades y reducir la vulnerabilidad en los asentamientos humanos en Chile frente al cambio climático.

SUSTENTABILIDAD A ESCALA DE BARRIO: RE-VISITANDO EL PROGRAMA QUIERO MI BARRIO

CEDEUS, MINVU, Greene, M., Wagemann, E., Cortese, C., Reyes, J., Ormeño, N., Fernández, A., 2019

Durante el primer semestre del año 2017 el Centro de Desarrollo Urbano Sustentable, CEDEUS, trabajó en conjunto con la Secretaria Ejecutiva de Barrios para estimar la sustentabilidad de las intervenciones implementadas a través del Programa Quiero Mi Barrio (QMB). Ello implicaba llevar a cabo un estudio exploratorio que considerara tanto las obras físicas como las intervenciones sociales desarrolladas en el marco de esta línea de acción. El estudio contempló el análisis de doce barrios en seis regiones del país en los que el programa había finalizado su intervención entre cinco y ocho años atrás. Se aplicaron diversos instrumentos, desde entrevistas a representantes de los Consejos Vecinales de Desarrollo (CVD), funcionarios municipales y dirigentes vecinales, encuesta a beneficiarios y fichas de observación de las obras construidas por el programa.

BAHAY KAWAYAN: A TRANSITIONAL HOUSE FOR THE PHILIPPINES

Gatóo, A., Wagemann, E., Ramage, M., 2015

The book shows in detail the design and construction process of a transitional bamboo house for the Philippines, a country that was affected, in 2013, by Typhoon Haiyan, the strongest typhoon ever recorded. The low-cost structure is based on the traditional Filipino house, the Bahay Kubo, and was designed to explore a resilient solution for imminent hazards. Moreover, the design could be adapted to any tropical climate where large bamboo grows, considering the local building techniques.

RELIEF FOR THE CURRICULUM: ARCHITECTURE EDUCATION AND DISASTER RECOVERY

Wagemann, E., Ramage, M., 2013

In a world with an increasing frequency and impact of natural disasters, architects play an important role in post-disaster recovery and development. While schools of architecture can potentially increase students’ exposure to this field, it is unusual to find relief, reconstruction and risk
assessment in the main curriculum.. Scroope: The Cambridge Architecture Journal 22, 129-133. ISSN 0966-1026. https://doi.org/10.17863/CAM.6437

PROFESIÓN Y DISCIPLINA. UNA TENSIÓN POSIBLE DE ARTICULAR’

Rosas, J., Wagemann, E., 2011

Debatir acerca de la profesión de arquitecto exige siempre cierta reflexión sobre la enseñanza de la arquitectura y, en el caso actual de Chile, es pertinente dada la importante cantidad de Escuelas de Arquitectura que se han creado en las últimas décadas y el cambio de paradigma profesional a nivel global. En este contexto, este artículo se origina a partir de la experiencia académica y profesional que comenzó con la creación del Magíster en Arquitectura puc el año 1991, en simultáneo a la obtención del título de Arquitecto y grado de Licenciado en Arquitectura.
