Universidad Bernardo O´Higgins

For the first time i designed a great "plaza".
This is today the heart the connects all the buildings within this university campus.
I didn´t know much about restoration then. I´ve learned a little more through the years collaborating eith Arturo Torres lópez de la Vega and Fanny Canessa. The little i knew before that i´d  learned in a trip to Italy
with my class ( A- at LTH) lead by prof. Olle Svedberg.
Today, some of my interventions there can be  considered as "wrong" but they can be mended, due to the nobility of the building. "Edificio de la Raza" by architect Jorge Aguirre Silva, 1939.

It has been the first time I can supervise the work in a quarry
- and get payed for it!-
The criteria for stone selection was very simple, the right size and it´s color should be as close to basalt-blue as possible, that, because it´s the color of my country´s vertebral column after a heavy snow storm in the winter.
