Benedictine Monastery of Las Condes

The Benedictine Monastery of the Holy Trinity of Las Condes (Historic Monument), whose church is the work of Gabriel Guarda OSB (+) and Martín Correa OSB, is a proper part of the country's historical heritage, constituting, due to its notable value, a pillar of our cultural identity and one of the most important works of contemporary architecture on a national and continental level. This publication responds to the importance of disseminating a valuable heritage and avant-garde work, whose proposal escapes the traditional canons of religious buildings, betting on minimalism and the prominence of light in spaces. "It has been a fascinating read. Without a doubt, it is for me the best work of Chilean architecture of all time. The book fills a gap in the dissemination of the history of the Monastery and it is very interesting to be able to hear all its participants in their own voices." - Antonia Lehmann, National Architecture Prize 2004
