Summary

A critical review of Chilehaus: Atacama/Hamburg, an exhibition curated by Alfredo Thiermann, Pedro Correa, Ella Neumaier, and Xavier Nueno, reveals the architectural significance and cultural impact of the UNESCO-listed Speicherstadt and Kontorhaus District with Chilehaus. The exhibition, held at the Heritage Gallery in Santiago, Chile from September 27, 2024 to January 26, 2025, explores the intersection of modernist architecture, heritage conservation, and urban identity. Through a comparative analysis of Chilehaus's design in Hamburg and its counterparts in the Atacama region, the study highlights the enduring influence of expressionist architecture on global cultural landscapes. The research employs qualitative methods, including visual and textual analysis, to assess the exhibition's role in shaping public perception of architectural heritage.
