| Sumario: | Objective: The main objective of this research is to understand how the climatic conditions of each region of Peru influence the design and construction of buildings. The aim is to achieve functional and comfortable spaces that are in harmony with the natural environment of each region.Methodology: The methodology used in the study is based on a narrative review, in which data and previous studies on architectural projects in the various climatic regions of Peru are compiled. In addition, successful case studies were carried out to analyze the strategies employed in these architectural projects.Results: The results of the article highlight that in each region of Peru (coast, highlands and jungle), architects have developed techniques and used specific materials to guarantee the durability of buildings in extreme climatic conditions. For example, on the coast special paints and coatings are used to protect against corrosion, in the highlands thermal insulation techniques are implemented and in the jungle humidity resistant materials are chosen.Main Conclusions: Peru's climatic diversity has led to the development of adapted architectural techniques that ensure the functionality and comfort of spaces.The influence of climatic conditions is critical to the effective design of buildings in the different Peruvian regions.In addition to climatic factors, Peru's rich cultural diversity has also influenced vernacular architecture, resulting in buildings that reflect the country's identity. |
