Leaving aside the discussion of ; if housing solutions must be provisional, temporary upgradable, expandable final, etc. In Chile we all know that some things were meant "for while, forever." Well got the dreaded rain to Mapuche territory, and people formerly Puel Mapu (Argentina today) used to designate this side of the Mapuche Nation, such as the land of rain.
Just as in poor rural areas and more in cities, rain water is an issue "to be" we are obviously in winter and especially in the south, rainfall are harsh. Touching on
way is to see the photographs of the victims of the earthquake and tsunami of February 27, quickly prepared aid and grants, were enabled real people in tents, the large number of people affected to be expected that solutions come paused, hasty decisions were made to the catastrophe left no options urgency.

Photo Terra From architecture have been many and varied proposals for housing solutions, but given the volume of people affected, these solutions do not reach the emergency people need. We who live in the south and one way or another we have experience in this time of Southerners, seeing the photographs solutions recognize that many "people of the periphery" bring it up in our homes to do a little more bearable against the mud and moisture.
on the pitch or the periphery of the city, where the pavement or asphalt do not cover sidewalks or driveways, with simple materials clean shoes are constructed so upset that mud that sticks to the sole, a solution more scale and intended for it and some have begun to use heavy timber. 
As in summer the pedestrian greed in the shadows to escape the blazing sun in winter as people move to escape the rain, grasshoppers, water wells and avoiding the mud, creating a housing movement would improve accessibility to the tents or half water (poles, wire galvanized, polyethylene sleeve and fittings, all in good prices in grocery stores). 
solutions should also consider those who fall behind in the aid and urging of some measure to mitigate the hardships and discomforts of the tent or living in a new reality as are half water and that they do not simply installed, but rather respond to criteria of livability and conviviality in the vicinity. "
architecture in the workshops students learn concepts such as "intermediate spaces" and how they soften a situation differently, as they contain the remote to change from one situation to another, in summer are areas that provide shade and become a wealthy place from inside the house and discovered a true intermediate court in idem winter from rain situation.
Runs rainwater to be an area of \u200b\u200bmarked rainfall, management of stormwater is something that is totally out of the curriculum of architects and engineers, we see in the city as rain causes catastrophes. If we were a destination, and solutions having to do with the logic of gravitational drainage would help a lot, in that the former Mapuche rukas and housing can help us (as surface water channel).
also study how the distance of these areas improve the living in groups, they are spaces decompression or separation of one instance to another, in a population the garden to supply the safe distance before street and public way, condominiums in the inside lane before leaving the building or common areas and expectations.
How can we improve the coexistence of people, who by force will have a couple of months living in precarious conditions, such as spaces and solutions to enable not only to channel rain water and humidity, also the free time left much to see your workplace today are devastated and idle labor.
A slogan of the former government was to eradicate the camps this radically changed post-earthquake highest since the number of houses damaged and affected persons forced to build and enable true even camps more precarious than it was intended to eradicate, this contradiction can be seen in desciciones taking the one hand you want to enable solutions "worthy" and the other is installed with all the insecurity and discomfort "to people not used to ", is the double soul of the authorities to solve.
Some people do not want to camp in their communities and regions, but the urgency required, these delay and hinder the implementation of construction, progress is precarious, a precarious intended for residents do not adapt to this reality campamentil "and eventually eradicate a problem.
Chile and its dual soul, "not wanting to be what is ", Chilean and Argentine wants to be hated, Chilean wants to be Brazilian but has no holiday cheer, is unable to look into the room and respond to the crossroads at which it puts the fate, today the new authorities who prepared to create a new and better chile, are to be lifted no resources, nor the expertise to do so with the urgency it requires time, as some still think that the camps are part of a Chile of the past to be extinguish, the situation of a misplaced and think beyond reality, forgetting the most authentic of our traditions "do not put the cart before the horse."
Certainly everyone wants to be in the Big Apple of Manhattan, or want to replicate the European quality of life (to see if these broken understand), but the current situation leaves no room for hesitation that our ruling elite, do not forget also our elite is " the Chilean elite, "which is not assumed as such.
