Architect: Santiago Valdivieso
Location: Pargua, Chile.
The project emerges from the materiality and surrounding elements, acting as an intermediate element between the natural landscape and the artificial highway. Designed as a large-scale land art intervention, it integrates the rigid materiality and artificial geometry of the road with a structure of artificial order but natural materiality.
Thus, the work is not presented as an isolated or decontextualized object within the Pargua landscape but rather as an element that actively engages with the highway, transforming it into a fundamental and necessary part of the composition. The road and the artwork exist in a mutual relationship—one cannot exist without the other.
This approach positions the piece as part of a series of interventions within the exceptional surrounding landscape, creating a unified composition where the road, the roundabout, and the artwork form a cohesive whole.
