Summary:

"The participation of foreign intellectuals in the urban development of Peruvian cities, and particularly of Europeans in the introduction of new types of buildings in Lima, remains one of the most important influences on local architects and engineers...this monograph focuses on the study of the most active European designers in 1940s Peru, including the Austrian Richard Neutra, the German-born Paul Lester Wiener, and the Spaniard Josep Lluis Sert. It also considers the economic, political, and cultural circumstances that underpinned the design and use of multi-storey buildings in the historic centre of Lima: from the introduction of urban planning regulations to the presence of European-born architects who designed a significant number of these buildings, including Paul Linder from Germany, Mario Bianco from Italy, and Theodor Cron from Switzerland. Finally, it reflects on the protection, conservation, and valorisation of this vast architectural heritage." -- Back of book.
