The patina left by builders in the polished cement gives the museum a ceramic look that resembles the pre-Columbian ceramics that are exposed inside.Ĭultural center for the reconciliation of peruvian people, exhibition spaces, research center and auditoriumĬlient: presidential commission for the place of remembrance - peruvian ministry of culture The exposed concrete and polished cement that constitute its materiality, blends with the neighboring red dunes. The museum is built entirely with salt-resistant reddish pozzolan cement. Its geometry reinterprets the motifs of the Paracas textiles, which were its most outstanding technological and artistic expressions. This device allows providing controlled natural and artificial light, natural ventilation and cooling, and act as a transition space between exhibition rooms. The environmental harshness of the Paracas Desert and the preservation requirements of the collection are solved with an "environmental regulator device", that defines the architectural volumes and spaces. The different accesses to these spaces are located along this "crack".Ī seemingly contradictory hybridization between the Precolumbian labyrinthine organization, and the fluid, dynamic contemporary space, is explored in the interior.

A crack or flaw breaks in this volume, separating the museum and conservation spaces from the ones dedicated to interaction and learning (workshops, meeting rooms, and services). It retakes its rectangular geometry and compactness. The project is implemented practically on the ruins of what was its predecessor, destroyed by an earthquake in 2007. A site museum, as the Paracas, acquires the additional challenge of having to integrate into the landscape that was the cradle of this culture, which is now part of the most important biological and landscaping reserve of the Peruvian coastal desert.

Five typical units are assembled within this square to produce a great variety of open but protected spaces for students and faculty members, with facilities like informal reading spaces, cafes, meeting rooms, and reception. The facility is conceived as an extension of the arid forest of Carob trees that characterize the northern Peruvian desert, providing shade in a hot and dry climate.Ī new generic classroom and faculty offices in the University of Piura campus is the opportunity to give the students the needed space for informal learning between classes, potentiating wide open circulations protected from sunshine and glare.Ī constellation of 11 buildings is linked by a system of ramps and alleys, courtyards, and gardens within a square perimeter of 70 x 70m.
