Architectural Intervention Proposal for the Ancestral Crossbreed Church of the Huayucachi, in the Mantaro Andean Valley.

Abstract

In this research, we intend to implement intervention plans in sacral heritage buildings of the Mantaro Valley, promoting and encouraging the commitment to perpetuate the local culture and memory as the old church of Huayucachi, considered as immovable historical heritage in the category of religious architecture entering as one of the 15 primeval and sacral churches of the Andean territory, since its formal characteristics are outlined as a mixture of baroque style and ornamental elements of the Andean culture, being some main vestiges of what was once a living architecture. From a diagnosis, we propose an architectural intervention proposal that is defined as a put in value of the old church of Huayucachi, opening a set of questions about its influence on its environment, its construction, history, culture and traditions. The information of the old church of Huayucachi was collected through an observation and description sheet by environment, in which its parts were recorded through an area of analysis based on its elements and its current state by percentages of deterioration, and this information is complemented with a study analysis of materials and heritage survey for the understanding and contextualization of its environment. It was determined that the study is under the premise of safeguarding the building through a constructive technological integration that will allow its occupation and cultural use of a currently abandoned and deteriorated heritage, thus promoting cultural sustainability.
