Series dedicated to the works, projects and architectural essays produced by the docents of the PUCP. This second issue of the collection dedicated to the firm Benavides + Watmough arquitectos (founded in Lima in 1993 by architects Alfredo Benavides Fett and Cynthia Isabel Watmough Vega (Lima, Perú 1961)), presents two projects that intervene in a landscape of complex topology and "that have been executed in a span of 20 years; both present different answers of how to design in the landscape. With the multi-family Building H begins the search to make an architecture that, in addition to being conditioned by certain constructive norms of the place, goes beyond the constructive to seek in history and memory new design strategies. On the other hand, in the Hotel Sol y Luna it is chosen to build with the minimum elements, columns and two flat roofs, as a contemporary response to the architecture of the place."
