el Centro Artesanal de Coyhaique, ubicado a un costado de la plaza pentagonal de la capital regional. “Se trataba de un techo y un patio, para albergar a los artesanos de la región”, señala de este proyecto. Y el 2021 fueron seis proyectos, el Cuartel de la Primera Compañía de Bomberos en Coyhaique, un edificio de tres pisos compuesto por una estructura de acero y bloques de vidrio, dos Terminales de Buses en la carretera austral, en las localidades de Puerto Cisnes y de La Junta y, posteriormente, uno en un clima radicalmente opuesto como el desierto de Atacama, en Caldera. A mediados de ese año se adjudicó el Edificio Consistorial de O`Higgins, donde termina la ruta panamericana e inician los campos de hielo, y casi al terminar el 2021, obtuvo el primer lugar de un nuevo museo en Chillán, el Museo Regional de Ñuble, del cual comenta: “Creo que fue el resultado de una propuesta de concurso clara y sencilla. Buscamos resguardar la espacialidad de las edificaciones ferroviarias preexistentes, aun cuando no fueran patrimoniales, y concentrar el nuevo programa en una torre, conectando ambos edificios por medio de una pasarela elevada que recorre de inicio a fin, hasta llegar a un mirador público”. Hoy en día, este arquitecto se encuentra desarrollando diferentes proyectos, terminando algunos de los encargos de2021 que aún no se cierran por externalidades públicas, y con el desarrollo de su último concurso ganado a inicios del año 2023, la tercera municipalidad en la Patagonia chilena, el Edificio Consistorial de Chile Chico. Después de una larga entrevista, termina diciendo: “Soy súper trabajólico y estoy tratando de bajar la cantidad de tra- bajo, que creo que es totalmente anormal. Me importa tener el control de mis proyectos, me gusta estar metido en todo, pelear los detalles. Pero por un tema de desgaste, y porque quiero pasar más tiempo con mi familia, mi meta, por ahora, es mantener la oficina chica con proyectos que puedo abordar sin sobreexigirme. Y quién sabe, después de unos años, cuando mis niños sean más grandes e independientes, volver a ser trabajólico de nuevo”. !
co, central courtyard, perimeter colonnade, and a translucent vaulted roof - which we hope to begin work on at the end of this year, thus restoring its public character and Providencia's social gathering place", he says. That same year, the Ibáñez City Hall Building was also awarded, which will be the first of three municipalities in the Aysén region, whose work should begin at the end of this year. During the pandemic came a prolific period in which he was awarded eight tenders in a row. It ended in 2020 with the Coyhaique Artisan Center, located next to the regional capi- tal's pentagonal square. "It is a roof and a patio to house the region's artisans," he notes about this project. In 2021, there were two projects, the First Fire Company Barracks in Coy- haique, a three-story building composed of a steel structure and glass blocks, two bus terminals on the southern highway, in the towns of Puerto Cisnes and La Junta and, later, one in a radically opposite climate like the Atacama Desert, in Caldera. In the middle of that year, he was awarded the O`Higgins Consistorial Building, where the Pan-American route ends and the ice fields begin. Almost at the end of 2021, he won first place for a new museum in Chillán, the Regional Museum of Ñuble, of which he comments: "I think it was the result of a clear and simple competition proposal. We wanted to preserve the spa- tiality of the pre-existing railway buildings, even if they were not heritage buildings, and to concentrate the new program on a tower, connecting both buildings employing an elevated walkway that runs from beginning to end, until it reaches a public lookout". Today this architect is developing different projects, finishing some of the 2021 projects that are not yet closed due to public externalities, and with the development of his last competition won at the beginning of 2023, the third municipality in the Chil- ean Patagonia, the Consistorial Building of Chile Chico. After a long interview, he ends by saying "I am super hard-working and I am trying to reduce the amount of work, which I think is totally abnormal. I like to be in control of my projects, I like to be involved in everything, fighting the details. However, because of a burnout issue, and because I want to spend more time with my family, my goal, for now, is to keep the office small with projects that I can tackle without overtaxing myself. Who knows, after a few years when my children are older and more independent, I might go back to being a workaholic again". !
