Tierra del Fuego, Patagonia, Atacama Desert & the Pacific Coast: even today the apperception of Chile remains remote & indistinct. There is no doubt that its geographical location
- confined between the Pacific Ocean & the Andes mountain range
- has had a role to play in the relative nescience, although it was the former political situation that led to the country`s isolation for almost twenty years. In fact, it is only in these last fifteen years that Chilean architecture has appeared on the international stage, mostly owing to Mathias Klotz, Alejandro Aravena, Smiljan Radic & Pezo von Ellrichsausen, amongst others. Chile can take pride in having built some genuine Modern masterpieces whilst having preserved a close relationship with its culture. During the twentieth century Europe provided Chile with sources of inspiration. Le Corbusier had a great influence on Chilean architects despite never having visited the country; his followers, such as Emilio Duhart, Roberto Davila & the BVCH office, realised buildings which are today internalised deep in the Chilean psyche. The Bauhaus movement served as another influence for architects such as Sergio Larrain. Overall, this book aims to be a practicalreference source of the best architectural works of the twentieth & twenty-first centuries in Chile.

This is the first guidebook focussed entirely on the magnificent & historic road uniting northern & southern Patagonia. The few hardy travellers that embark on this journey struggle to find even basic information about the region. The book provides visitors to the often-visited Bariloche & Chilean Lake District with a spectacular alternative means to reach the southern extremes of Patagonia. The road passes through world-class national parks. It stretches from the high Andes to the remote Pacific coast, fed by five great rivers, countless fjords & the largest ice fields outside of Antarctica & Greenl&. Trekking options abound, including to & from neighbouring Argentina through pristine wilderness. The region is home to a sub-tropical rainforest, secluded villages without vehicles, picturesque lakes, dramatic & often active volcanoes, & sufficient activities to satisfy even the most adventurous visitors. In addition to practical advice, the book explores the mythical history of a region cut-off from the outside world, & the social & economic impact of the relatively recent connectivity to both mainland Chile & Argentina. Travelling in one of the last unknown regions of South America is challenging, & this book facilitates such travel for those wishing to escape the ”gringo trail”. ...
