A year after the catastrophic mega-fire in Viña del Mar, construction is underway on a prefabricated housing project spearheaded by ELEMENTAL. This initiative aims to serve as a model for delivering rapid housing solutions in emergency situations. The project, situated in a heavily impacted neighborhood, features modular buildings with a focus on efficiency and sustainability. With only 26% of reconstruction efforts completed, this pilot project showcases the collaboration between local authorities and architectural innovation to address housing shortages following the disaster that claimed 132 lives and destroyed thousands of homes.
