Spanish with English subtitles + auto-translation
A jewel of modernist architecture in Chile built between 1962 and 1964, the chapel of the Benedictine Monastery of Las Condes sits on the foothills of the Andes Mountains. Designed with an intense study of light and volume, the building includes two cubes of light and a set of interconnected prisms and parallelepipeds. Remarkably, the work was carried out by its own users—monks and architects Gabriel Guarda and Martín Correa.
