Abstract
Sólo cinco minutos bastan en ciertas ocasiones para ver destruido lo que con el esfuerzo de años se ha edificando, sin embargo, cuando tras lo material hay un trasfondo espiritual, la reconstrucción es tarea que se transforma en una consecuencia necesaria. El 16 de Agosto de 1906; un sismo asola Valparaíso. Entre la ruina casi general se halla un grupo de construcciones pertenecientes a una congregación religiosa que también han sufrido los efectos de la catástrofe. Destacan allí las ruinas de una iglesia pequeña pero digna, antecesora inmediata de la construcción que constituye el objeto principal de este estudio histórico arquitectónico. Para la realización de esta monografía se ha tenido en cuenta la finalidad primordial de todo trabajo de investigación, cual es la exactitud y objetividad de los resultados a través de la aplicación de una metodología científica rigurosa. Lamentablemente un estudio serio no puede estar enmarcado en plazos de duración rígidos, si son los resultados, el contenido de dicho estudio lo que importa primordialmente, y no una consideración de índole administrativa. Se tiene la sensación, al final, de no haber agotado todas las fuentes de información, de no haber dispuesto del tiempo necesario para una óptima elaboración de los datos, en fin, de no haber logrado presentar un trabajo todo lo bueno que se hubiese deseado, como una forma de corresponder a una Congregación, a una Universidad, a una Profesora Guía, la oportunidad de realizar este estudio v la inestimable ayuda recibida para llevarlo a cabo.
Only five minutes are sometimes enough to see destroyed what has been built with years of effort. However, when behind the material there is a spiritual background, reconstruction becomes a necessary consequence. On August 16, 1906, an earthquake struck Valparaíso. Among the almost general ruins is a group of buildings belonging to a religious congregation that have also suffered the effects of the catastrophe. The ruins of a small but worthy church, the immediate predecessor of the construction that is the main object of this architectural historical study, stand out there. In carrying out this monograph, the primary purpose of all research work has been taken into account, which is the accuracy and objectivity of the results through the application of a rigorous scientific methodology. Unfortunately, a serious study cannot be framed in rigid duration deadlines, if the results, the content of said study are what matters primarily, and not an administrative consideration. There is a feeling, at the end, of not having exhausted all the sources of information, of not having had the necessary time for optimal data processing, in short, of not having managed to present a work as good as one would have desired, as a way of corresponding to a Congregation, to a University, to a Mentor Professor, the opportunity to carry out this study and the invaluable help received to carry it out.
