The building as critic : new Library of Universidad del Bio-Bío

Authors

  • Rodrigo García A. Universidad del Bío-Bío

Abstract

A critique it only necessarily an oral expression, but also material, in particular in architecture. A building can give a new perspective of a general situation, as well as accommodating its particular demand as a dwelling. This action seems to occur in the new Library of Universidad Del Bio-Bío (Concepción), based on the design of Rubén Muñoz and Rodrigo Villalobos, architecture faculty teachers and former graduates of said institution. The building has a functionality and form that provokes controversy. As a result, its architectural development invites a revision of the critical possibilities of a building in relationship to its context.
