Antofagasta, Chile, modern architecture between ocean and desert. Claudio Galeno Ibaceta. Docomomo Journal 37 september 2007.








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