Taller Pachacútec 1.0:: Tradición, cultura y paisaje en Hatun Cajas

Abstract

The Pachacutec 1.0 workshop is an academic methodology proposed in an environment located between the
urban and rural boundary of the province of Huancayo,
department of Junín. In the first stage of this article, the
geographic and landscape qualities of the work site are
described, to later expand with a description of the most
important elements of the study environment, such as
the landscape, ancestral cultures and contemporary
local traditions; then an explanation of the formulation of
the conceptual idea of the proposed workshop is given,
based on the antecedents of Andean cosmovision and
historical data that shape and justify the workshop called
Pachacutec. With the objective of developing a rural urban
intervention within a community, by linking the inhabitants
to their contributions, we can propose architecture coherent with their environment and real needs. This last stage
came to its conclusion with the presentation of the work
in their own community where the students supported
with all the graphic and visual information presented their
work to the attending population, ending this academic
stage very rich in experiences and social connections,
cultural and academic.
