<p><b>Chilean architecture</b> is influenced by <a href="History_of_Chile" title="History of Chile">the country's history</a>, <a href="Religion_in_Chile" title="Religion in Chile">religious culture</a> and unique <a href="Climate_of_Chile" title="Climate of Chile">climate</a>. Chile was a former Spanish colony and its architectural style was therefore strongly influenced by <a href="Spanish_architecture" title="Spanish architecture">Spanish design</a>. Due to the unique geographical environment, Chilean architecture was also designed to accommodate these natural conditions. In particular, Chile's special geologic structure and resultant high incidence of earthquakes and tsunamis have led to Chilean architects becoming quite experienced in the application of structures and materials for <a href="Earthquake-resistant_structures" title="Earthquake-resistant structures">earthquake-resistant structures</a> and post-disaster reconstruction.
</p>
<meta property="mw:PageProp/toc">
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Geographical_background">Geographical background</h2></div>

<p>As the narrowest country in the world, Chile has a unique geography. With a 4,270&nbsp;km (2,650&nbsp;mi) north–south span, Chile spans 38 latitudes and has 24 world-wide climates.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> As a result, the Chilean houses and buildings are adapted to suit the natural conditions. In the dry north, materials such as stones, earth and straw are usually used, and the central areas are mainly clay and straw. In the rainy south, tiles and wood are used.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Chile is located on the <a href="Ring_of_Fire" title="Ring of Fire">Pacific Ring of Fire</a>; this special geological structure has resulted in Chile having a remarkably high incidence of <a href="Earthquake" title="Earthquake">earthquakes</a> and <a href="Tsunami" title="Tsunami">tsunamis</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This intense earthquake activity constrains the development of urban architecture, so the indigenous houses of the former Latino residents were built with half-timbered and smeared earthen walls (wood structures filled with straw and clay) because these walls are light and flexible. The arrival of Spanish conquistadors in 1541 saw the development of more urban architecture; however, the first colonial buildings they built were highly vulnerable to earthquake activity. As a result, later colonial architecture was modified to be suitable for earthquakes and post-disaster reconstruction.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Chile's building codes require all buildings to survive a 9.0 magnitude earthquake. That is to say, a building may crack, tilt, and even be declared unsuitable for future use after an earthquake, but it cannot collapse.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> So, in order to meet the government's requirements, the average cost of each building in Chile is higher than in most other countries.
</p><p>Strong columns and weak beams are widely used in Chilean buildings. They are supported by reinforced concrete columns and are further reinforced by steel frames. Before piling, the construction company will drill holes to measure the wave velocity and calculate the natural frequency of the building, so that the main structure of the building can swing freely with the seismic wave. Its design concept is to buffer and release seismic energy as much as possible, and to maximise the preservation of the building.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</li>
</ul>
<p>During the <a href="Pre-Columbian_era" title="Pre-Columbian era">Pre-Columbian era</a>, the northern part of Chile was ruled by the <a href="Inca_Empire" title="Inca Empire">Inca Empire</a> and was influenced by Inca culture and developed rich handicrafts.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Inca buildings are mostly stone structures. The main features of their architectural style are the use of land topography and existing materials as part of the design. The stones they used are of three types: green <a href="Sacsayhuam%C3%A1n" title="Sacsayhuamán">Sacsayhuaman</a> <a href="Diorite" title="Diorite">diorite</a> porphyry, Yucay <a href="Limestone" title="Limestone">limestone</a> and black <a href="Andesite" title="Andesite">andesite</a>. Each stone can weigh several tons. They were mined by the Incas with harder stones and bronze tools. According to the marks on the stones, they were mostly smashed into a certain shape rather than cut.<sup id="cite_ref-:2_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:2-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Adobe walls were usually laid on stone foundations and the roofs were usually made of grass or reeds. These grass or reeds were placed on wooden or sugarcane poles, tied together with ropes, and fixed to stone walls with prominent stone piles.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Most Inca buildings are simple and formal. They have similar appearance in design. They usually combine geometry with nature in combination with the landscape. Even though Inca builders usually employed no mortar, their architecture was highly resilient, and in fact, their particular use of <a href="Dry_stone" title="Dry stone">dry stone</a> masonry gave their buildings good <a href="Anti-seismic" class="mw-redirect" title="Anti-seismic">anti-seismic</a> qualities, which made them well-suited to the earthquake-prone regions of what is now Chile.<sup id="cite_ref-:2_8-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:2-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
Relatively few examples of Inca architecture in Chilean territory have survived to this day in good condition, though some remains of <a href="Pukara" title="Pukara">pukarás</a>, or stone fortresses, can still be found. These defensive complexes, such as the <a href="Pukara_of_La_Compa%C3%B1%C3%ADa" title="Pukara of La Compañía">Pukara of La Compañía</a> and the <a href="Pucar%C3%A1_de_Chena" class="mw-redirect" title="Pucará de Chena">Pucará de Chena</a>, were linked by the road network known as the <a href="The_Chilean_Inca_Trail" title="The Chilean Inca Trail">Inca Trail</a> or <span title="Quechua-language text"><i lang="qu">Qhapak Ñan</i></span>.

<p>In 1818, <a href="Bernardo_O'Higgins" title="Bernardo O'Higgins">Bernardo O'Higgins</a> officially declared Chile's independence and established a republic.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_saltpeter_boom">The saltpeter boom</h3></div>
<p>By the mid-19th century, the Chilean economy gradually shifted focus from agriculture towards mining. Coal and silver mines (in <a href="Lota%2C_Chile" title="Lota, Chile">Lota</a> and <a href="Cha%C3%B1arcillo" title="Chañarcillo">Chañarcillo</a>, respectively) were an important early source of revenue for private families and the state alike, but this process was exacerbated by the end of the <a href="War_of_the_Pacific" title="War of the Pacific">War of the Pacific</a> (1879–1884), when Chile came into possession of large territories rich in <a href="Saltpeter" class="mw-redirect" title="Saltpeter">saltpeter</a> deposits. The saltpeter mining industry thrived from that point up to the collapse of saltpeter prices due to the development of synthetic alternatives during <a href="World_War_I" title="World War I">World War I</a>. During this period, many families made fortunes in the mining, shipping and banking sectors.
