Teck – Quebrada Blana: New Operational Phase Inauguration

The Canadian mining company Teck celebrated a milestone in its corporate history in October 2023: the new operational phase of the copper mine Quebrada Blanca. The celebrations planned for this occasion were intended not only to mark the progress of the company but also to reflect its values.

Under the motto of “Pulse of the Earth”, CQ Estudio designed a concept with the aim of expressing the connection between the vitality of the earth, its raw materials and the traces that people and nature leave on our planet.

The project consisted of two parts: firstly, the creation of a viewpoint at an altitude of 4400 metres that was to be integrated harmoniously into the surroundings and become part of the landscape. In addition, there was a temporary building for the opening ceremony at the port. This took place on difficult terrain with a view of the sea, welcoming over 500 participants.

The terrace received the guests with a sociable and inviting atmosphere, with a breathtaking view of the pit. An immersive space allowed an intense experience of the “Pulse of the Earth”. A synchronised ambient sound was brought together with experimental projections. Extra emphasis was given to the meaning of the event by an emotional ceremony that culminated in a cocktail with a view of the port.
