With or without any right and from the end of the 20th century the Modern Movement has been strongly attacked by avant-garde architects. In Chile there are a few examples which signal their abrupt break into the traditional framework of some cities. But beyond the imposition of a model promoted by C.I.A.M and above their architectonic successes or failures, it is important to consider the effects of this model in the user's behavior. This paper compares two rationality housing groups and special attention is devoted to the relationships the inhabitants have with the treatment of the public spaces which both examples propose.
