It can be argued that the community that inhabits Lo Contador Campus of the Catholic University of Chile in Santiago – which in its origin was a colonial hacienda- identify themselves with the presence of the patio like organization of It and that the presence of the old hacienda house impregnates the rest of the campus with its order and character. Taken in account these simple strong truths, I thought that a new building in such historic context with this architecture masterpiece should incorporate the wise lessons that were there to look at and try to respond to the following questions: Firstly; how to organize spaces. Secondly; how to create order and third; how to create an atmosphere.
