This study presents a spatial history of the origins of Santiago's neoliberalisation, unveiling its urban history from the critical point of view of land at the centre of social classes' dispute over city life. It situates the contestation and struggle over land in a genealogical progression from the origins of the disciplinary field of urbanism (1932) to the transformation of its regulatory framework, making it an exclusively profit-oriented practice complementary to processes of wealth creation through urban transformations (1979). As an allegory, we used the Gigantomachy to interpret these struggles. Special emphasis is given to the land struggles that occurred in Santiago as a part of this migratory process and how the contestation of private land became an alternative to the government's incapacities to resolve the urban poor condition. This contestation would lead to the dominant class looking for alternative politics that ensure the defence of their property. This study presents neoliberalism as a response to such a call. Neoliberalism in Santiago was the way to transform the problem of housing scarcity in big business for the dominant class. The study historically outlines this process in what may be considered as the first neoliberal urban policy in the world, depicting the big bang of neoliberal urbanism.

This article proposes a political agenda for a disciplinary trespassing against capitalist rule drawing upon the reasons that worthed a Pritzker award and the curative job in Venice Biennale for Alejandro Aravena. In both cases, the institutions argued that Aravena embodies a social architect with an agenda oriented to aid people living on scarcity. Along the article are revealed the ideological nature of these nominations and it exposes the necessity for emancipating architecture from the subjugation to profitability, capital accumulation, and power's reproduction. The subjugation to capital has destroyed the creative nature of the discipline, triggering a crisis whose release may be tackled through more theory, collective organization, and exploring new modes of production. The article claims for leaving the comfort zone for embracing the radicalism as a possible path toward disciplinary liberation. ; El artículo construye una agenda política de transgresión disciplinar contra el capitalismo a partir de las razones que valieron para Alejandro Aravena un Premio Pritzker y la curatoría de la Bienal de Venecia 2016. En ambos casos, las instituciones patrocinantes han informado que se reconoce el rol de Aravena como arquitecto social con una agenda orientada a ayudar a las personas de escasos recursos. A lo largo del artículo se expone la naturaleza ideológica de estas nominaciones y se expone la necesidad de emancipar la arquitectura de la subyugación a los objetivos de la rentabilidad, acumulación de capital y reproducción de ciclos de poder. Se argumenta que este sometimiento al capital ha destruido la naturaleza creativa de la disciplina generando una crisis cuya salida puede darse con más teorización, organización colectiva y explorando nuevos modos de producción. Se convoca a salir de la zona de confort y abrazar la crítica como un camino posible hacia la liberación disciplinar.
