Description: The editorial project 'Plan for Chile' by the prominent architect Raul Irarrazabal Covarrubias (Chile 1937), consists of three volumes that invite the reader to think of a new urban planning plan for Chile under a forward-looking, daring and integrative approach. The foundations of the Plan for Chile correspond to a clear and luminous spatial order that includes the architecture of all times, objective, based on geometry and proportions, in harmony with functional needs, with climate, relief, light, materials. The first volume studies the general antecedents of an order for Chile that are the natural space and the humanized space of the whole nation. The second volume deals with a general order for the Chilean nation. It is the internal balance of it with a new capital and its three main zones: American, Antarctic or Oceanic Chile. The third volume deals with the city of Santiago, South Central Chile, Los Lagos, Los Canales. Each volume is illustrated with the author's drawings, carefully planned and designed to express his thought, as well as the content of the whole and of the three parts. His drawings are also the main theme of the book, and graphically explain what is meant. They follow a pen path, to which colors sometimes overlap, mainly when it comes to making the dominant theme of light relevant.
