El territorio-escuelas Valle del Choapa La Hacienda Choapa, con una extensión de 230.000 hectáreas, fue donada al Estado de Chi- le en 1821. Bajo su administración, se impulsó el desarrollo de la economía agrícola y ganadera en el valle, estableciendo escuelas y postas en cada uno de los más de 20 poblados a lo largo del río. En 1965, la reforma agraria dividió y distribuyó las tierras estatales en parcelas de 3 a 15 hectáreas, dando lugar a una comunidad de pequeños pro- pietarios agrupados en cooperativas. Hasta el día de hoy, esta comuna sigue siendo una de las que cuenta con una mayor población rural en Chile. Entre los años 2007 y 2019, se llevaron a cabo cinco unidades de salas prebásicas para las es- cuelas y nueve cubiertas modulares, financiadas por el Ministerio de Educación, con el objetivo de proteger los patios de la radiación solar. Estas obras se distribuyeron a lo largo de la cuenca, estableciendo conexiones entre la infraestructura educativa, la extensión agrícola y el centro urbano. Existe una relación continua entre los habi- tantes del valle y los ciudadanos, tanto en sus desplazamientos diarios como en la interacción con los diversos servicios e infraestructuras que han sido establecidos a lo largo de este proceso de varios años por esta "burocracia ágil". Finalmente, comprendemos que cada obra ha sido concebida como una prótesis que se ajusta y expande, desde sus circunstancias específicas, a un cuerpo más amplio. En todos los casos se ha intentado dar continuidad a los recorridos, relacio- nando y abriendo los interiores públicos a la calle, respetando la escala que esta cuidad comporta. !

carpet in front of each house or store, which, being at right angles to the street, suggested a continuity towards the interior. Once again, the line between public and private was explored, this time through an outdoor design project. The figure, quite repetitive -in the Paseo Ahu- mada manner-, registered each opening at the moment of execution, leaving the accesses printed on the floor. The light tone in the residential areas -where there are fewer doors- becomes darker in the commercial areas, where accesses and their black carpets are multiplied. The territory - Choapa Valley schools Hacienda Choapa, with an area of 230,000 hect- ares, was donated to the Chilean State in 1821. Un- der its administration, the economy´s agricultural and livestock development was boosted in the valley, establishing schools and posts in each of the more than 20 villages along the river. In 1965, the agrarian reform divided and distributed state lands into plots of 3 to 15 hectares, giving rise to a community of small landowners grouped into cooperatives. To this day, this community con- tinues to be one of those with the largest rural populations in Chile. Between 2007 and 2019, five units of Pre-Basic rooms for schools and nine modular roofs, financed by the Ministry of Education, were carried out to protect the playgrounds from radiation from the sun. These works were distributed throughout the basin, establishing connections between the edu- cational infrastructure, the agricultural extension, and the urban center.

There is a continuous relationship between the inhabitants of the valley and the citizens, both in their daily commutes and in the interaction with the various services and infrastructures that have been established throughout this multi-year pro- cess by this "agile bureaucracy". Finally, we understand that each work has been conceived as a prosthesis that adjusts and ex- pands, from its specific circumstances to a wider body. In all cases we have tried to give continuity to the routes, relating and opening the public interiors to the street, respecting the scale that this city entails. !
