Illustrated Heritage: Preserving Chilean Architecture Through Drawing

Subscriber Access

Patrimonio Ilustrado is a Chilean digital and analog project created by Mario Rojas Torrejón (holding a degree in Cultural Heritage Conservation and serving as Director of the Cultural Heritage Corporation of Chile) alongside Fernando Imas of Estudio Brugmann (a practice dedicated to the research, conservation, documentation, and dissemination of Chilean heritage). Within this framework, Rojas developed this subtle, precise illustration project that recalls traditional architectural drawing techniques to highlight the facades of prominent architectural works in Chile.

I feel that in a way what I do is put myself in the architect's shoes, retracing their lines with the means available at the time, also in terms of spatial conception - Mario Rojas, founder of Patrimonio Ilustrado.
