Abstract
Ciudadela Efímera: Arquitectura Sostenible en el Salar de Maricunga.
El mundo actual enfrenta desafíos energéticos críticos, con una creciente demanda de recursos naturales que impulsan las tecnologías modernas. Chile, líder en la extracción minera, destaca ahora por su potencial en la producción de litio, un recurso clave para soluciones energéticas sostenibles. En este contexto, el Salar de Maricunga emerge como una de las mayores reservas de este mineral, planteando oportunidades económicas y energéticas, pero también retos ambientales y sociales significativos.
La propuesta arquitectónica del campamento minero responde a estas demandas con un enfoque innovador y sostenible. Utiliza bloques de sal como material de construcción, los cuales, al desintegrarse con el tiempo, retornan al salar, simbolizando el equilibrio entre la intervención humana y el ciclo natural del entorno. Este diseño se integra al paisaje desértico y refleja la fragilidad de las estructuras humanas frente al tiempo y las condiciones extremas.
La "Ciudadela Efímera" no solo se alinea con principios de sostenibilidad y eficiencia energética, sino que también promueve el bienestar de los operarios y su entorno, respetando las características únicas del salar. Este enfoque plantea una solución que equilibra la actividad extractiva con el cuidado ambiental y social, contribuyendo a una narrativa arquitectónica que prioriza la responsabilidad y la armonía con el medio ambiente.
Ephemeral Citadel: Sustainable Architecture in the Maricunga Salt Flat. The modern world faces critical energy challenges, with a growing demand for natural resources that drive modern technologies. Chile, a leader in mineral extraction, now stands out for its potential in lithium production, a key resource for sustainable energy solutions. In this context, the Maricunga Salt Flat emerges as one of the largest reserves of this mineral, presenting economic and energy opportunities, but also significant environmental and social challenges. The architectural proposal for the mining camp responds to these demands with an innovative and sustainable approach. It uses salt blocks as building material, which, over time, disintegrate and return to the salt flat, symbolizing the balance between human intervention and the natural cycle of the environment. This design integrates into the desert landscape and reflects the fragility of human structures against time and extreme conditions. The "Ephemeral Citadel" not only aligns with principles of sustainability and energy efficiency but also promotes the well-being of the workers and their surroundings, respecting the unique characteristics of the salt flat. This approach offers a solution that balances extractive activity with environmental and social care, contributing to an architectural narrative that prioritizes responsibility and harmony with the environment.
