This book analyzes the origin, development, and dismantling of the Lima Planning Institute (IPL) at the National University of Engineering (UNI), which served as the headquarters for Project 205 of the Inter-American Program for Urban and Regional Planning (PIAPUR).

The book highlights the Institute's significance within both the national and Latin American contexts regarding professional training in urban and regional planning, while considering the influence of the various schools of thought and the political and social movements of the era. It was the first postgraduate program of its kind in the country and the first in its specialty in Latin America.

Avian hazard – and that's hazard to birds rather than some Hitchcockian hazard to you – is an increasing concern for architects and developers. You may not have thought about it much, but build a tall glass building and sooner rather than later an unwitting bird is going to fly right into it. And then more and often with fatal consequences.

In fact, billions of birds collide with buildings every year, especially during migration. And given our insatiable appetite for putting up more and ever taller glass buildings, that tally is only going to rise. To tackle that death toll, more and more cities – including, not surprisingly, New York – have passed or are passing legislation that require architects and developers to install bird-friendly glass.

Paint is synonymous with color, even when it is white. It is the simplest way to restore and correct imperfections on any surface, whether interior or exterior. Without detracting from this significant aesthetic benefit, paint also possesses composition-based properties that turn an attractive, well-finished project into a healthy building—one with a lower environmental impact throughout its life cycle.

Immaterial flows characterize the urban condition in the era of globalized information, intensifying its existing complexity. Temptations to return to the past, or a penchant for the radical or purely virtual, accompany the uncertainty of a landscape undergoing profound social transformations. To intervene in a perceptible way, a new cohesion is required, provided by a diagrammatic unfolding of the urban condition and a move beyond form-based urban readings. This new arrangement aims to reveal more than the simple sum of its parts.

So much so, that the descending window was awarded the German Design Award 2020 in the category "Excellent Product Design - Building and Elements".
