Las   Piedras   del   Cielo   is   located   in   Ritoque,   Chile,   in   the   site   of   the   Open   City,   a   project   run   by   the   Corporación Amereida   and   the   School   of   Architecture   and   Design   of   the   Catholic   University   of   Valparaiso,   which   for   fifty   years has   been   constructing   a   town   which   now   houses   many   of   the   school’s   staff   and   contains   a   church,   cementery   and many   public   spaces   and   facilities.   ‘Las   Piedrad   del   Cielo’   serves   the   purpose   of   food   preparation,   outdoor   dining and nature observation. A ondulating timber deck provides sitting and reclining surfaces around a centrally located firepace.   A   small   enclosed   space   provides   facilities   for   food   preparation   and   storage.   A   light   membrane   system shades   and   shelters   users   from   the   sun   and   wind.   The   membrane   system   is   exposed   to   gale-force   winds   during the   winter   season   which   subject   the   steel   supporting   members   to   varying   compression   and   tension   forces.   This required   careful   analysis   of   wind   flows,   material   resistance,   and   detailing.   Especially   challenging   was   the   design   of the foundations on sand, which had to sustain dynamic forces in both compression and tension.
