Inside the Historical Center of Lima there are -still- buildings that were architectural references of the XIX and XX centuries and that are yet standing; however, when asked what future they have, the answers and intuitions are mostly hopeless. In times where there is discussion about the programmed obsolescence of products, objects, buildings, where is the job of the architect with a humanist vocation, his intrinsic ego of perennization through quality? What do we call architectural quality if we continue to use the city as a try and failure blackboard, a city increasingly saturated and needed of public spaces and infrastructure? Is it the carelessness of man, his ingratitude towards history and his lack of appreciation of quality and order (informality) that is sending hundreds of architectural gems from Lima to oblivion? This project has the audacity to challenge time with a futuristic ideal for a real and human user of the present, which shows correspondence to our history through two fundamental concepts: to value forgotten architectural infrastructures of the 20th Century through its adaptation for new contemporary and versatile purposes, and improve the public spaces of the Center of Lima through a new alternative solved in an urban and architectural program.
