WEIBEL-FERNANDEZ, Hugo. Built landscape and urban sustainability: Identity prints of the modern landscape. The Osorno I. Transformation Plan. Rev. Arquit. (Bogotá) [online]. 2021, vol.23, n.1, pp.86-96.  Epub July 10, 2021. ISSN 1657-0308.  https://doi.org/10.14718/revarq.2021.2711.

The study of modern architectural and urban traces in relation to the contemporary landscape of Osorno, Chile, is approached in order to understand the current implications of its distinctive features, from a perspective of sustainable development. Based on Hiernaux, Mondragón and Aliste, and through documentation of that period, the Osorno Transformation Plan (1930) is interpreted in the areas of public space and building modes. At the same time, intentional photographic records are made of the modern traces of this plan present in the contemporary city. With the information obtained, the situation of these traces is critically interpreted in relation to the contemporary context, in order to conclude that the Osorno Transformation Plan proposed a non-rupturist modernizing path that, in addition to maintaining links with the local heritage, it made it possible to materialize modern architectural and urban practices, with emphasis on public spaces, whose traces, still relevant in the city, have witnessed the sustainable evolution of Osorno.

Keywords : Public urban space; urban evolution; historic heritage; cultural identity; local modernity.
