Ambassador

starting at €90.00

Built in the 1880s and abandoned in the 1970s, the Estancia San Gregorio farm is an interesting reminder of the settlement of Chilean Patagonia. The wind blows freely through the windows of the silent buildings, and the wreck of the clipper Ambassador, one of the first ships in the Punta Arenas area, lies abandoned in front of the estate. The sailing ship was built in London in 1869 and found its final resting place on the shores of the Strait of Magellan in 1932. The estate was declared a national monument in 2000, as it is a fine example of the architecture typical of its era and region.

CONCRETE DECAY – Antidote to beauty clichés

The Science Term Bank defines beauty as an aesthetic quality that is generally considered a type of aesthetic value. According to the philosopher Plato, beauty is a true reality that can be understood by reason, but whose imperfect reflections can also be perceived by the senses. Aristotle, on the other hand, defended the principle of purposefulness. The opposite of these views is that beauty is a purely subjective value, i.e., beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Also ugliness is in the eye of the beholder. Decadent romanticism, the beauty of ugliness, is an ideological movement that emerged in the late 18th century. According to this movement, an object can be perceived as beautiful simply because looking at it gives pleasure.
