Text description provided by the architects. The new City Hall building is located in one of the poorest neighborhoods of Santiago. As we analyzed the site area, we discovered that the privation of public spaces and the poor conditions of the infrastructure were key factors for unsafety in the neighborhood, leading to lack of social cohesion and therefore to a less fluid relationship between the local government and the community. We believe that bringing people together through the value of architecture and public spaces we could improve the quality of life to both the city hall employees and the community in general. That became one of our main goals and key concepts of our design.
