Learning from Andean vernacular architecture: a proposal for a tourist center in San Pedro de Casta, Marcahuasi

The architectural intentions may best be described in the phrases: "symbolic meaning of the environment" - "the spirit of place" - and the need to assure the "historical continuity". The main points of the program are the following: 1.- to create a service unit corresponding to the needs of the overall development of the micro-region as regards to tourism, 2.- to favor contact between the tourists and the local population, 3.- to express this aim by means of an open type of structure, 4.- to offer a wide range of activities corresponding to the needs and desires of the occupants, 5.- not to destroy the natural and existing environment.
