• Within the framework of expressions of industrial heritage in the south of Chile, the Sociedad Explotadora de Tierra del Fuego marked a presence that persists to this day in the city of Punta Arenas through the construction, in the 1950s, of a residential complex for the use of its workers and employees. An in-depth study of the Explotadora population, using blueprints and documentary archives, in addition to interviews and participatory workshops, gave an account of a social fabric that emerged from a particular urban and architectural proposal designed by the company, which remains alive in the memories and speeches of former and actual neighbors.
