Archivo de Ideas Recibidas is an interdisciplinary research and dissemination project that seeks to document and connect the ideas of individuals who contribute to the contemporary creative ecosystem from the fields of art, design, and architecture. It is built on conversations between the team and various creators, exploring topics related to memory, academia, cultural context, key influences, and working methodologies. On this occasion, they share their interview with designer Mariana Otero, who, alongside Yerko Zlatar, leads the design and interior design studio PUNA, based in Lima, Peru.
Previously, they presented an interview with architect Sandra Barclay of Barclay & Crousse, reflecting on her experience working remotely from France: "the possibility of looking at Peru with different eyes." In a similar vein, they also introduced us to another Peruvian architect, Rafael Freyre of Estudio RF, who commented on his travels to Indonesia: "it was like arriving in Peru, a fictional Peru. This is closer to Peru than Europe is. I can understand things better; I can see things closer to where I live." This was followed by a kind of international symbiosis: Chilean architect Rafael Zamora of LLONAZAMORA, an architecture and landscape studio based in the city of Lima since 2009, co-founded with Peruvian architect Michelle Llona R. The latter showed us that "a teacher teaches what they love."
