LAND wins DESIGN VANGUARD 2017 from ARCHITECTURAL RECORD Magazine, New York. Since 2000, Design Vanguard has showcased emerging architects from around the world. For this program, RECORD looks at firms established no more than 10 years ago that are demonstrating inventive approaches to shaping the built environment. Unlike some years past, when young architects were still coping with the economic downturn, this year’s winners have a robust body of built work and are making a big impact on the places where they practice.

For a profession of late bloomers, the notion of a “young architect” has always been the subject of debate. When exactly is one too old to be a young architect? Since 2000, Record has showcased promising practitioners who have led their own firms for 10 years or less, in our annual Design Vanguard issue. This year’s winners range in age from 33 to 48, each with a surprising portfolio of built work and on-the-boards projects. Each also has a personal, crafted, and nuanced approach to architecture that has come to define their generation.

LAND celebrates the start of construction for the NCSO Building, a prime 9500m2 office building located at Narciso Goycolea 4040, Vitacura, in the heart of the Nueva Costanera neighborhood. The building seeks LEED certification with high standards of sustainability through horizontal rings of variable dimension that protect it from the sun. Its materiality is concrete view with white pigment and board molding. The project is developed in conjunction with Amunategui Barreau architects and Inmobiliaria Centinela.

RECONSTRUCTION, LANDSCAPE AND ECOLOGY

How do landscapes shape after a catastrophe? It should be noted that after a catastrophe the landscapes are reconfigured spatially, aesthetically and normatively, although they remain dependent on what exists.

Mauricio Onetto presents these unexpected landscapes by discussing the historicities, sensitivities and policies that disasters highlight in the moment of rethinking the urban, architectural and aesthetic values? before and after catastrophes and confronting them with the social realities of every season.

Angela Delorenzo presents the case of the city of Valdivia and the opportunities that arise after the earthquake of 1960, from an urban area and site design, so that the morphology of the city adapts to these environmental conditions.
