PROJECT
This website invites you to learn how the modern movement was conceived in Europe, as well as the expansion it had in Latin America and in Chile, managing to adapt to different local contexts and contributing to the solution of social problems derived from progress, industrialization and technological advances, typical of the first half of the 20th century.
THE MODERN MOVEMENT BEGINS
It presents a general overview of how the Modern Movement was formed in its origins. It focuses on reflecting the processes experienced in Europe between the end of the 19th century and the first years of the 20th century, placing "modernity" as a phenomenon that modified the ways of inhabiting and that was adapted to particular contexts in a world that was constantly changing due to the new concept of progress, economic awakening and urban sprawl.
MODERNITY IN LATIN AMERICA
It lays out how an "appropriate modernity" was developed in the context of economic takeoff and the role played by the Latin American State Governments during the first half of the 20th century, emphasizing how ideas related to modern concepts migrated from Europe and the important influence exercised by architects and artists who knew how to transfer these ideas to the local needs of Latin America.
It is also an invitation to discover how the modern movement solidified in Viña del Mar, through the compilation and characterization of ten emblematic buildings, built between 1950 and 1960. These buildings constitute a faithful reflection of the modernization process and the transformation that the city faced to eventually become a touristic destination.
MODERNITY IN 20TH CENTURY CHILE
It focuses on the processes experienced in Chile throughout the 20th century. It analyzes the impact of the popular sectors as they became a political subject. In the same way, it reviews the new role acquired by the State in the process of modernization and industrialization. The chapter moves through the modernization process and the transformations that derived from it.
VIÑA DEL MAR MODERN RESORT CITY
It addresses Viña del Mar’s process into becoming a "resort city" throughout the 20th century. In this section, we review the main processes experienced in urban terms, raising some questions that allow us to explain the modern architectural display of the decade between 1950 and 1960.
