This article discusses public buildings located in northern Chile. The Atacama Desert provides many examples of relationships between architecture and the natural and cultural landscape. From Antofagasta to San Pedro di Atacama, we can encounter many examples of such buildings, such as museums, astronomical observatories and hotels, as well as buildings housing tourist-oriented services. We can also experience large-scale changes to the landscape associated with open-cast copper mining. One example of such a landscape is that of the Sierra Gorda mine jointly owned by Polish and Japanese companies. This paper explores the emergence of new architectural forms built in the desert and using desert materials.
