This research is based on the study of urban intervention defined by a set of contemporary buildings of the campus of Universidad Diego Portales (UDP), built in the neighborhood Barrio Universitario de Santiago (BUS) in Santiago, Chile. The set of buildings, as well as the unique architecture of each, arouse research interest in the debate raised by the contemporary condition of architecture embedded in a consolidated site. Each of the buildings of interest was designed by teams of architects and professors of this university in Latin America. This fact still arouses the interest of understanding the characteristics of this architecture, considering the relation between universality and specificity with the Chilean current architectural production. At the same time of the conception of the campus and its buildings (2002/2003), UDP launched its Infrastructure Plan, which, along with other public initiatives, has encouraged transformations on this old urban area. In this context, there is the challenge of finding out which architectural and urban factors and processes, are responsible for the redevelopment of this area, and how the architecture appears and explains this transformations. The Chilean architecture arouses interest not only for presenting contemporary features that meets the questions that this study aims to answer, involving intervention on a consolidated site, but also to fill an existing gap in Brazil of systemic knowledge on contemporary practices, architectural and urban, significant on Latin America. The set of buildings in question will be analyzed according to various categories defining the interventions, such as those related to the neighborhood (social), urban territory (urban) and historical and new buildings inserted into this urban fabric (architectural). These aspects will be related to the process of implementation of the Infrastructure Plan of UDP, the joints of the open urban campus with the urban territory and relations of the new buildings with the existing heritage buildings by analyzing the specific characteristics of each building selected. The listed factors justify the importance of the issue and seek to expand the universe of research and studies on the subject. The aim is that this research will assist other research projects related to interventions in consolidated sites and contribute to the field of architectural and urban design by deepening the knowledge of contemporary works, the Arquitetura contemporânea e a requalificação do sítio consolidado: o conjunto edificado do Campus da UDP 15 Abstract relationship between architectural design and its surroundings, and representative architects in contemporary Latin America.
