“The development of this book was motivated, among other factors, by the following: initially, by my own twelve-year tenure at the SCEE (School Building Construction Society), during which I had the opportunity to meet José Aracena, who passed away in 1971; subsequently, by a desire to explore the life of Gustavo Mönckeberg, father of fellow architect Hernán Mönckeberg Barros, who served as president of the SCEE from 1969 to 1970 and kindly provided me with the remnants of his father’s archive; and finally, by the goal of documenting their complete and valuable body of work—spanning residential, civil, educational, religious, and funerary architecture—while tracing the natural evolution of the masters who preceded them in the city's development.” - Alfredo Jünemann Gazmuri, 2021.

Lima has many more sunny days than its inhabitants let on. The urban layout of its historic center is the most Cartesian in South America, yet migration has generated an informal, heterodox, and radical periphery.

While its best-known architecture is viceregal and republican, pre-Columbian ruins are scattered throughout the city.
