About this book

Consists of a review of the most prominent architectural representations that are part of local heritage, assessing their functionality and relevance as objects for ceremonial use or prototypes ideal for construction, from an interdisciplinary study where disciplines converge architecture, archeology, and art history. Modelando el Mundo : imágenes de la arquitectura precolombina presents 150 pieces of pre-Columbian period styles as Mochica, Huari, Chimu and Inca, worked in various media such as ceramics, stone, metal, and textiles which are displayed to allow reflection on architectural creation in the Andes and its representation.
