Chiloé has a great tradition in wooden architecture where the high cultural expression is reached in the
wooden churches, 16 of them has been declared World Heritage by UNESCO in 2000.
For that reason, our proposition was to follow the local tradition, the proportions, typology, materials,
and symbolism of a building which is more than a church, is the centre of the community life. This

building was totally financed by the local community through their work and donations
of money and time. Our professional work was part of that community collaboration. The
church was self-built by the community with an average cost of 120US/m2. Area 240m2.
Materials: Structure, external and internal cover Wood. Floor sand and stones. Roof iron sheet
and acrylic.
AWARD: X Biennale of Architecture Chile 1995
