Abstract

This research explores patrimonial recycling in the city of Valdivia and establishes as a research hypothesis that buildings that recycle with greater complexity respond to more conscious agents of the symbolic and material value that a patrimonial property reaches when this is remade.

The methodology includes an identifi cation of the recycled houses, later elaborating a cartography that allows the establishment of the space relations between these. The study also includes an updated audio-visual registry that analyzes them through time. Finally, the methodology contains interviews with the architects who carried out the projects.

This can be used to establish the space, proximities, and relations between existing houses, including their location patterns. Observations also indicate that architects implementing the proposal are totally conscious of the value of recycling to these houses and the role such activity occupies in creating more liveable cities.
