Sinossi

&;Stadium&; is the theme chosen for the Chilean Pavilion at the Sixteenth International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale. The intent is to capture the story of the National Stadium in Santiago&;both a building and a city for a day. On September 29, 1979, 40,000 families filled the stadium&;s seats; around 250,000 people from all over the country&;s capital. The occasion was the signing of documents that transformed these people into proprietors. Prior to the event, the press circulated a list of names of the people summoned to the stadium&;beneficiaries of &;Operación Sitio,&; a public housing program&;together with a plan that showed the stadium subdivided into boroughs.
This book tells the dual story of the stadium and the exhibition at the Chilean Pavilion, interwoven with the Architecture Exhibition&;s broad theme of &;Freespace.&;
The book is organized into four chapters, each featuring short essays and illustrations, including drawings, plans, and photographs. In the making of the exhibition, the stadium&;s floorplan no longer demarcates the stands but visualizes another city marginalized from its center. Each section is extruded as a block, engraved with the urban fabric of the fragment of the city from which it originates. A timely contribution to a continuing conversation, Stadium will be welcomed by architects, urban planners, and those who provide housing.
