In Arequipa, in southern Peru, there are water torrents that are activated seasonally between December and March. These streams were originally located on the outskirts of the city, but due to accelerated growth they are now part of the city. Important city infrastructure such as educational, commercial, health and residential centers have been built along the boundaries of the torrents. However, these facilities have taken a protective stance towards the watercourses, which has generated the construction of physical barriers that separate the architecture from its natural surroundings. One of these is the Palomar Market, located on the banks of the Miraflores stream and recognized as the main retail center for hydrobiological products in Arequipa. This market has been in operation since the 1960s and in 1987 a proposal for its renovation emerged: the “El Palomar” Shopping Center, designed by architect José García Bryce, together with Miguel Llona and José Vélez del Castillo. However, this project was never carried out and the market continued to expand informally. In this context, the present research aims to propose a new commercial and landscape space in the city of Arequipa, using as a reference the strategies extracted from the PUCP Architecture Archive, in order to provide valuable equipment for the city, which is optimally integrated into its natural context. The architectural approach takes two factors as a starting point: firstly, the territorial context of Arequipa and the hydrographic network that composes it; secondly, the preliminary project of the “El Palomar” Shopping Center, from which the main project strategies are recovered. By integrating both aspects, we seek to convert the Miraflores stream into an operational edge that is safe in the rainy season and that in the dry season becomes an important social space, accompanied by a new market, which supplies the commercial demand of the area. As a result, this project research highlights the need to incorporate these temporary watercourses in urban proposals because their integration within the architectural design can contribute to revalue both the streams and their surrounding infrastructure, generating new dynamics and public relations around the territory.
