Abstract

Recognizing the pre-Andean landscape as a unique place that defines us as Santiaguinos, Chileans, and Latin Americans — a sacred pilgrimage site for millennia — and understanding that, even when we overlook or undervalue it, it sustains life in the human settlements built at its feet. This project aims to be a provocation. I seek to provoke the same reflection that led me to work alongside organized communities to protect and restore the last native forest in Santiago. That reflection is understanding that the precordillera belongs to all of us. It is a cultural and natural heritage, a public asset that we are not protecting, and that urban planning is turning into yet another commodity, exposed to speculation, commercialization, and privatization.
