Abstract

PORTAL, Fernando. Taller de Magister, Primavera 2001: Buslag Cotidiano diferido. Hogares para choferes. ARQ (Santiago) [online]. 2002, n.52, pp. 22-23. ISSN 0717-6996.  doi: 10.4067/S0717-69962002005200010.

Portal and Núñez developed the projects presented here in the context of a MA in Architecture Studio Workshop. Both place their projects at the West side of Alameda Avenue, near the Central Railway Station and the Bus terminals; a rather derelict area which has paradoxically been treated as a backyard instead of one of the entrance doors to the city. This projects work with that deteriorated reality, which provides the backdrop for the case studies the projects in question engage with: namely interurban buses drivers and cardboard gatherers, who have both, for diverse reasons, set themselves apart from official urban routines
