Summary:

An architectural and urban study of the traditional copper mining towns of Chile. The traditional establishments, today replaced by the mining town and the mining hotel, constitute a unique Chilean architectural and urban patrimony. The book is divided into three parts. First it presents an historical panorama in which the foundations (including architecture) are analyzed and strategies that gave rise to these establishments, examine the territories and review the main moments of the mining of copper in Chile. Part II includes a set of reflections on the establishments as exceptional forms of the urban fact, such as the contribution to the subject of the house and occupation of the territory. And the third part displays in detail the "copper" cities. These include an ample arc of diverse models of industrial establishments, urban forms and joint architectonic complexes, all of them places unique for the test of different formulas from urban design, the development of typologies of house and the incorporation of varied buildings and standards of equipment.
