Palacio Pereira: recuperación como cuidado sociocultural

Abstract

When intervening heritage, the prospect of mere conservation is often the most obvious answer. However, a building declared as a historical monument should not necessarily remain frozen and oblivious to the changes that happen around it. The restoration work of the Palacio Pereira, in downtown Santiago, proposes that caring for a monument includes its reintegration into the socio-cultural fabric and, thus, into the life of the city.
