Abstract: Let $Gamma$ be a finitely generated group and $G$ be a noncompact semisimple connected real Lie group with finite center. We consider the space $mathcalX$ of conjugacy classes of reductive representations of $Gamma$ into $G$. We define the {it translation vector} of an element $g$ in $G$, with values in a Weyl chamber, as a refinement of the translation length in the associated symmetric space. We construct a compactification of $mathcalX$, induced by the marked translation vector spectrum, generalizing Thurston's compactification of the Teichm"uller space. We show that the boundary points are projectivized marked translation vector spectra of actions of $Gamma$ on affine buildings with no global fixed point. An analoguous result holds for any reductive group $G$ over a local field.
