Peru is known for its food and its music as a cultural representation, the attempt by its architecture to be known, has become one of the most important motivations of architect’s work. This attempt was conducted in a more intuitive than rational way, more feeling and reacting to their own nature that analyzing or justifying human’s actions with history or references. This is how architect presents this home to their clients and this is how to learned the many complexes that they have for recognizing us as Peruvians.
For Luis Longhi, it is more difficult to try to offer Peruvian architecture than foreign architecture, complicating the attempt when commisions often arrive with specific orders oblivious to what should be in a proper context styles. Veronica house was a great opportunity to explore this search of our architecture in a context that is better related with the international style.
