Architectural criticism and pedagogy: Multiple gazes and complex thought

Abstract

Based on our current context and from reflection and analysis categories, it is inferred that criticism still has not directly attacked Peruvian architecture, of particular resonance, and beyond the controversial one when relating to it from a disciplinary reasoning, the volatility and insipience that are assumed could help us to understand it. The corpora which have enriched this discussion, have arisen as analytical positions from the reading of varied and specialized texts, where it is sought to converge on a valid and systematic theory that threaded the methodology of architectural criticism as it is. Thus, an interpretative exercise is used based on the formulation of critical assessments regarding specific architectural projects, where the critical object and author’s discursive nature are sustained, within a structural configuration, respecting as much as possible, a Historical loyalty scheme, a simultaneous theoretical articulation, the conceptual consistency of the architectural experience within a perceptive-sensitive margin and finally a concomitant relationship with the social and architectural imaginary which they are part of.
