Peru is home to a wide range of new cultural architecture. Strongly tied to the country’s megadiverse geography, Peru’s modern projects reinterpret past building techniques. Taking inspiration from the vernacular and varied landscapes, these contemporary buildings arise from long traditions rooted in ancient cultures and civilizations.
The XI Ibero-American Biennial of Architecture and Urbanism (XI BIAU) recently announced the 210 selected works for its upcoming edition, which will be held for the first time in Asunción this October.
The winners of the Panorama of Works Award will be chosen from this list of selected projects, which includes the 14 Peruvian works featured below.
As the year comes to a close, we look back... what captivated us most? After presenting the best architecture of the year, we now focus on identifying representative projects. Among the wide range of Peruvian works published in 2018, those that had the greatest impact on our platform span various scales and typologies. Below, you will find everything from a private house to a public library, by both established and emerging architects—reflecting architecture for everyone.
May the work continue.
