TORRE SANTIAGO

Arrhov Frick Arkitektkontor

Santiago de Chile is a vibrant and dense city. Several mountains covered with greenery are an important part of the city and frequently used for hiking and other outdoor activities. Today around 10 antennas are inserted on the high parts of the mountains providing telecommunication for the city. The task was about collecting all these functions into one single volume, creating a new landmark.

The proposal provides an abstract and generic structure made of reinforced concrete radically inserted in the landscape. The structure becomes a framework for programs asked for as well as flexible programs. A juice bar, office spaces, antennas, a public park, an outdoor gallery, a concert hall etc. The programs could change and develop over time. The tower becomes a part of Santiago as contemporary and in progress.
