Arquitectura Andina. Formas e historia de los espacios sagrados
Adine Gavazzi
This book examines six hundred archaeological sites to tell us the history of territorial and architectural planning in the prehispanic Andes. It includes abundant bibliography and provides complete information for each studied site. Its preface is written by art historian Lionello Puppi, and its prologue is written by archaeologist Krzysztof Makowski.
Three editorial houses joined their efforts for the first time to produce this work –one that unveils the points of view of the original builders of the sites.
The ethnographic study of the vernacular landscape of the Andes is still incomplete, but it has the potential to combine with the study of prehispanic architecture to produce a wider understanding of the Andean civilizations.
This book has already been published in Italy, France and Peru with much success. Its is currently being reprinted.
