ENVIRONMENTAL

Peru’s geographic particularities condition a great environmental diversity. They determine the existence of unique climates, hardly conceivable in other latitudes. A cold dry climate of the Meso-Andean Valleys is not usually considered in studies or research related to architectural design due to the singularity of being located between the Andean mountain range.

The main objective of this study is the elaboration of a series of architectural design recommendations for the city of Cusco. These parameters seek to facilitate the identification of appropriate environmental conditioning strategies for any project based on the consideration of the climatic conditions of the site, climatic data, analysis of flora and fauna, landscaping of the site and environmental pollution.
