The landscape of Universidad de Valparaíso´s Law School

Abstract

This article is about the building of the School of Law of the University of Valparaíso, from a morphological and location description, highlighting its original vocation, spatiality and materiality, carrying out a rescue of its urban, iconic, aesthetic and identity value through its architectural and landscape elements. Then, attributes of the building that construct the landscape are associated with the quality of shaping light and space, comparing with the work of James Turrell. It is inferred that the sensory experience of the landscape that the Law School builds from its natural environment is the fundamental heritage that we must preserve.
