Teaching for Inclusivity Zadel Velásquez, Vanessa Lucianna As architects, we must think about improving people’s quality of life through the spaces we design, spaces where human life unfolds. Therefore, our architectural designs must consider the diversity of users and situations that can affect our lives temporarily or permanently. As teachers, we must ask ourselves what we are doing to change what does not contemplate said diversity. As teachers, we are responsible for training future generations of architects to consider not only accessibility and universal design in their projects but also the inclusive communication of the architectural project and thus guarantee “leaving no one behind”. This article shows, as an example of good practice, the didactic methodology used in an architectural design course at a university in Lima, Peru, where students interact from the beginning of their training with real users; users with disabilities, the elderly and children to learn by putting themselves in the place of the other. Different sensory strategies emerge from these interactions that seek to offer with equity different ways of bringing users closer to architecture and to the different situations and atmospheres that it is capable of achieving. Leaving no one behind also means training future architects to achieve equitable and inclusive cities and societies. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023.

The use and meaning of gold in ancient Peru Vetter, Luisa; Carcedo Muro de Mufarech, Paloma Gold as a native metal is found in nature in quartz veins with pyrite and other sulfurous minerals from epigenetic mineral deposits, or in secondary deposits, known as placers, the gold from which is called alluvial gold due to its origin. This metal, with its bright yellow color, was a fundamental element in the Andean worldview and was related to the Sun, an astrological body that was considered a god by ancient Andeans. In this chapter, we will present the history of the gold used to create objects belonging to rulers that were deposited in funerary and architectural contexts, from the oldest piece fabricated in the Andean word to the use and meaning that the ancient inhabitants gave to this noble metal.

Methodology for selection of sustainability criteria: A case of social housing in Peru Rondinel Oviedo, Daniel Ricardo; Schreier Barreto, Christopher In Peru, the appearance of the MiVivienda Sostenible Bonus has brought to light the concern for sustainability in social housing, and this issue should be understood with a perspective of the satisfaction of the users’ needs. This research analyzed nine projects of companies interested in acquiring this subsidy between 2015 and 2016, by evaluating the sustainability criteria applied and proposing a list of criteria that can be applied to the social housing projects of the Peruvian coast. The impact of research is positive, allowing students and professionals to work with a local referent and to use it as a basis for future research in the area.

Design values for experience Zadel Velásquez, Vanessa Lucianna This chapter addresses the formation of values through experiential learning and the incorporation of otherness in the subject Architectural Design IV, section 425, of the Architecture School of the University of Lima. The methodology and steps carried out within the practical teaching-learning process will be presented as a replicable good practice in order to raise awareness about the fundamental role that the user has in any architectural project. The course raises students’ awareness about the need to include a diversity of users (with and without disabilities), and about accessibility and the concept of universal design in the development of their design proposals. This methodology has been used since 2018. This chapter is part of the author's doctoral research. It developed under a qualitative research paradigm using multiple observation techniques. The selected populations are students of the Architecture School of the University of Lima and the sample corresponds to the students enrolled in section 425 of the course Architectural Design IV. Depending on the cycle, there can be 12 or 24 students.
