the house in Chile of the XVII Century

-In Chile there is a process of ruralization (unlike in the rest of America), because cities are considered dangerous.

-1598 an indigenous uprising confirms the dangerousness of the cities by leaving 7 of these in ruins.

-Thanks to this process the dominant typologies of this period are the employer's houses, which are governed by a "pattern", which have a multiproductive function to be habitable throughout the year

-Each city is separated by many haciendas or employer's houses.

-The production of these haciendas has as main destination Peru.

Personally, I think Chile has always been a country that is influenced a lot by external cultures, but it has always had to maintain characteristics of its original inhabitants due to its geographical particularities.
