Conservation projects in Chile

Alan Chandler

Alan Chandler collaborated with the architect Cecilia Puga on a competition winning scheme for the reinvention of a derelict urban palace in Valparaiso, Chile. He was involved in developing the conservation strategy and looking at how the new building is inserted within the existing external façade. The project was awarded in March 2022 by the Chilean Government to create a regional archive.

This year also saw the opening of the another conservation project and collaboration between Alan and Cecillia – the Palacio Pereira in Santiago de Chile. The historic Palacio Pereira in Santiago has been transformed onto Chile’s Ministry of Culture. Again Alan was supporting the conservation aspect of the project.
