the earthquake museum
The Earthquake Museum is a portable structure that appeals to the fragility and the simplicity, more than the monumentality of the typical museums. This museum is poor. It has no doors, nor entrance fees. It has no fixed place and its content is filled by their visitors. It doesn’t display high-tech solutions, but it aims to exhibit, document and file the popular telluric wisdom shared by the inhabitants of two countries of Pacific Ring of Fire:
Chile and Japan.
CHILE - JAPAN
Although both countries form part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, their peoples have developed separate seismic cultures. We believe that through art and architecture it is possible to build bridges between these two cultures that have so much to tell eachother. More than a statistic, scientific or technological exchange, The Earthquake Museum seeks for an exchange of emotional information, domestic survival strategies, informal knowledge, popular wisdom. We will emphasize two specific telluric movements -Concepción 2010 and Tōhoku 2011- in order to create a file about the “telluric popular culture of the Pacific Ring of Fire”.
>Plaza Independencia Concepción, Chile - 2016
A temporary building is installed in the busiest city corner. The pavilion has 10 entrances, it is made entirely of wood and it opens to the sky in its center.
It is, without a doubt a foreign object for those who pass through there.
A number of interpretations and spontaneous explanations on the meaning of this object are generated. An inverted speaker, a space satellite,a home to rest and a stage to play music and dance.
The most recurring idea has drawn our attention: the one that refers to the hut, the vernacular building of the Mapuche people of southern Chile.

>Plaza Sotomayor, Valparaíso, Chile
- 2O14
A temporary large-scale building made from scaffoldings and designed for the 2014 Chilean Art Festival. It was installed for a period of 16 days.
During the daytime, the building plays the role of a leisure space where people can gather, walk around and be immersed in a sound atmosphere. At night, the project operates as a big urban lamp.
The first level of the pavilion is a garden with 200 native trees, ornamental plants and high and low bushes that creates a natural environment. Intimate furnished spots allow people to spend long periods of time and hold little group activities.
A big terrace on top works as an urban overlook and was the setting for recreational and celebratory activities
>Plaza Perú, Concepción, Chile
- 2O14
Installation of a prototype of habitability that settles on top of a container. The room opens to the public through a program of activities.
Within a period of 10 days, meetings and debates are held inside and outside the room. People cook,eat and meet during the daytime. Organizers stay over during the night.
The FR is a temporary and transportable. This project is a part of a series of experimentations of habitability in the public space
Our ties with Asia are much stronger than we think. The Pacific Ocean does not separate each other, but it connects us.
