Landscape in motion. Design tactics beyond reclaiming

Chile, one of the most extreme and diverse geography in the world, is continuously subjected to transformative phenomena defined as endogenous, such as natural disasters, or exogenous like resources exploitation by humans being. Among these phenomena, one of the most significant is copper extraction, the most important source of wealth of the nation. If on one hand this produces significants amounts of economics benefits for the country, on the other hand causes massive and rapid changes in the urbanized and natural territory. The thesis seeks to understand the complex nature of this phenomenon creating a visions of an inverse process, from an economy of exploitation of the territory to one based on its reactivation. The landscape is understood as a dynamic resource, in constant motion, as basis of future socio-ecological change.
