In this context, the role of architecture, design, and urban planning is fundamental."

This Saturday, May 26, the Peruvian pavilion at the 2018 Venice Biennale will open, and Lima's huacas will never be seen in the same light again—or at least they shouldn't be—thanks to "En Reserva" (In Reserve), the curatorial proposal by Marianela Castro de la Borda, Janeth Boza, and Javier Lizarzaburu, which manages to synthesize 4,000 years of architecture in a 250-square-meter space.
Through a poetic reading, the curators guide us through an ancient Lima and its contested huacas as a "knot city," seeking to rediscover its infinite potential as a "living city" that develops while respecting all its historical layers. The curators' goal is to highlight the existence of 447 neglected and dormant huacas in the Peruvian capital, while simultaneously revealing their potential to become the public spaces that Lima's residents so eagerly need and desire.
