Phase 1: Alëna's Summary

Lota has the means to be an ideal destination for cultural and adventure travellers. It has a number of existing attractions that hold historical importance, such as the “Chiflón del Diablo” (Wind of the Devil) which is one of the deepest coalmines in the world and the Chivilingo Hydroelectric Plant which is Chile’s oldest hydroelectric power station and was designed and built by Thomas Edison in 1897. Although Lota is home to a number of interesting tourist destinations and features a long stretch of beach front, there seems to be a disconnect between what the city has to offer and travellers’ perception of the city. I hope to explore this issue through a possible way finding system. Visual anthropology, artefacts, physical trace observations and hierarchical task analysis.
