Since its inception, the LIMAPOLIS workshop has been a research and design studio characterized by constant experimentation with issues relevant to Lima's architectural reality, aiming to spark debate and provide strategies for creating better architecture. In this eighth edition, “Toward a Specific Generic” focuses on studying Lima's geoclimatic conditions, considering how the city has historically responded to them in a detached manner, to move toward an architecture more pertinent to the local reality. This theme was proposed by organizers Gary Leggett, Augusto Román, and Paulo Dam from the PUCP Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism, where the event will take place from March 5 to 10.

With this shared vision, the organizers have invited prominent international architects: Juan Ignacio Baixas (Baixas y del Río Arquitectos, Chile), Teodoro Fernández (Teodoro Fernández Arquitectos, Chile), Javier García Germán (Totem Arquitectos Asociados, Spain), and Renaud Haerlingen and Raphael Bach (Rotor, Belgium). Drawing on their expertise and specialties, they will guide the discourse on the city through four specific themes: structure, landscape, envelope, and light/color. Below are the details for this event, which is open to national and international students and architects.
