Actually, inside a world in globalization, the formation of future architects means an enormous responsible job. This interview is about how the formation in architecture is matter of discussion and is linked to principles. The processes to obtain academic programs make clear the involved principles that lead the life of the educational centers, in that sense, the goals of a longed for universitary accreditation could not consist only in administrative and infrastructural issues. In 0ther side, the principle of sustainability, classified just like an accomplishment of a technological environmental image for avant-garde, goes beyond th.is and can be introduced in other aspects of the carrier, that intails to take the term in an integrative way in courses of the overal formation.

Actualmente, dentro de un mundo en globalización, la formación de los futuros arquitectos implica un trabajo de enorme responsabilidad.  Esta entrevista trata de cómo la educación en la arquitectura es cuestión de debate y está ligado a principios.   Los procesos para obtener programas académicos evidencian principios que rigen la vida de los centros de formación, por lo que las ansiadas acreditaciones universitarias no sólo pueden tratarse de simples cuestiones administrativas y de infraestructura.  De otro lado, el principio de sostenibilidad, encasillado en el cumplimiento de imágenes tecnológicas ambientales de vanguardia, va más allá y puede ser introducido de manera integral en otros cursos de la formación en general.

The urban density in cities is growing, which could favor land use efficiency, mobility and provides an opportunity for other environmental services; for those reasons is expected the increase of homes in high buildings in the coming decades. On the other hand, the urgency of initiatives for adaptation and mitigation to climate change in the cities has led to questions and rethinking for the built environment, as well as alternative proposals moved away from conventions.Considering the large number of families living in medium and high density multifamily homesin most of the world’s cities, the “resilient balconies” project proposes a change in the designand planning of the balcony space; destined to water, energy and food security to create anopportunity for survival face of the uncertain impacts of climate change on cities.

With the lockdown imposed by Covid-19 pandemic, electricity consumption has increased for many families in Peru, as well electricity tariffs. The objective of this experience was to demonstrate the possibility of photovoltaic installations in apartments even under non-ideal conditions, in addition, to study the electricity consumption integrating gradually efficient appliances and saving habits. The article explains the monitoring of 4 years (2017-2020) in an apartment in Lima, with various photovoltaic systems for partial contribution incorporated in the façade by mean of a patented hanger, to register and compare the evolution of monthly and annual consumption using electricity billing receipts. Finally, the savings in emissions and economic returns have been calculated. The results show a considerable level of savings in electricity and even more during the “new normal”, being an...

Las ciudades vienen experimentado un aumento de densidad urbana, lo cual favorece laeficiencia del suelo, la movilidad y brinda oportunidad para otros servicios medioambientales; por lo que se espera el incremento de viviendas en altura en las próximas décadas.De otro lado, la urgencia de iniciativas para la adaptación y mitigación al cambio climáticoen las urbes viene llevando a cuestionamientos y replanteos para el medio construido,así como propuestas alternativas y alejadas de convencionalismos. Teniendo en cuenta lagran cantidad de familias que viven y vivirán en multifamiliares de mediana y alta densidaden la mayor parte de las ciudades del mundo, el proyecto “balcones resilientes” proponeun cambio en la concepción y diseño del espacio balcón, destinándolo a la seguridad hídrica, energética y alimentaria, pudiendo así crear una oportunidad de supervivencia frente a...

The importance of public space as a catalyst for the development of cities, and the idea of university campuses like small cities within cities, are the main premises to start this research. This leads to the concept of university campus public space as a relevant factor for a better functioning of the university, and for the benefit of its students, teachers, and staff. However, like the urban public space, the university public space in many occasions does not have comprehensive planning for the development of all its potentialities. In Peru, the Ricardo Palma University is among the top 10 universities with the largest number of green areas on its campus. However, a comprehensive treatment of the university public space is not enough to maintain the green areas. It must be understood that the university public space also includes circulation spaces as well as living spaces. The sustai...

La energía —desde su generación hasta el consumo— es fundamental para el desarrollo urbano sostenible y resiliente, y particularmente para reducir las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero causantes del cambio climático. Sin embargo, en el Perú del Bicentenario no se reconocen fácilmente las múltiples facetas de esta vinculación. Presentamos aquí hallazgos iniciales del proyecto de investigación Modelos energético-basados en una planificación urbana equitativa en el Sur global (GEMDev, por sus siglas en inglés) 1, específicamente del primer paquete de trabajo, con un análisis de la configuración de la gobernanza energética con respecto a la vivienda popular en Lima Metropolitana. Se visibiliza una configuración de redes de actores y discursos, donde las redes dominantes y sus discursos no abordan en conjunto la energía y vivienda, limitando así sus contribucione...

The public space in the university campus is a relevant factor for a better functioning of this type of infrastructure, in benefit of the university community. However, the university public space often does not have comprehensive planning to develop all its potential. It must be understood that university public space, including its green areas, has spaces such as circulation, meeting and other places produced by the new needs of its new users, which are constantly being renewed. Therefore, this investigation aims to analyze the changes applied in the use of potential university public spaces within the framework of the 21st century. The study is of the basic type, with a qualitative approach, with a comparative methodological analysis. The actions taken at Harvard University, the University of Berkeley and the Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning of the Ricardo Palma University w...
