A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Founded in 1866, the city of Antofagasta is located in the coastal Atacama Desert, very close to the Tropic of Capricorn. Its architectural development occurred mainly during two periods: at first as a cosmopolitan industrial city, port of the nitrate extracted from the desert, and throughout the twentieth century, its modern consolidation representing at once the solution to the decline of the nitrate exctraction and an upshot of the growing copper industry.
