Title: The socio-urban impact of public higher schools of Art in heritage environments. Case study: Carlos Baca Flor National School of Art September 24 to July 2023
The diagram shows the land to be intervened as a void of possibilities bordered by nature but limited by the avenue that fragments said connection. With a geometry oriented to the main volcanos and the border itself, a dialogue of three volumes is reached, immersed in an existing and proposed surrounding nature.

“CARMEN ALTO” SITUATION
In an increasingly industrialized society, the traditional neighborhood suffers the risk of losing the discourse between its productive landscape and the neighborhood urban environment. With the high tourist offer of the site due to the beautiful landscape of the place, in an antagonistic and ironic way there is also a low transmission of knowledge to the younger generations as well as a lack of interest in the good of the group.

OBJECTIVES
In an environment of high landscape value, a high sense of belonging and a community whose activity is mainly agricultural, the project seek to raise awareness among the inhabitants and future generations of the traditional town of “Carmen Alto” through intergenerational teaching and learning.

MOTIVATION
The impotence that I have experienced when observing how the Higher Schools of Art, and their artists remain isolated from society, growing on their own, preventing art from being shared and recognized.
ART SCHOOLS SITUATION IN PERÚ
Talking about education is not just a school issue that only involves the younger generations, it should also involve society. In an individualistic and materialistic lifestyle, art is poorly understood as part of our essence. In this case, in Peru, art schools, with their repetitive and insipid architecture, only get to isolate their artists from the great school we call our cities.

COlLeCTIVE-SOCIAL APPROACH
Through this approach, the application of an extended art school concept proposes an architectural project compatible with the artistic training of the Carlos Baca Flor National Art School and the tradictional town of Cayma District (Inmediate context).

Recognition of the House Intervention Area:

Zonification: 7 rooms,
2 social interior areas, 1 social open terrace, 1 public interior passage
OBJECTIVES
Linking external users with the users of the site through a vertical connection, the interior silence of the house and the vault. contrast between the contemporary intervention and the existing historical construction of the site in order to enhance the architectural values of the city.
THE STRATEGY
Beyond presenting a typical architectural proposal for a student/ tourist residence, a pause is sought for its passers-by and future inhabitants through a promenade that is accompanied by a contemporary display case that frames the existing Sillar vault of the house.
With divided areas to intervene, on the first floor we seek to finish the corridor through a social space, where a cafeteria is a generator of long and paused conversations, while on the second floor study, rest and contemplation are the main activities with greater privacy. Therefore, a vertical connection is sought that essentially occurs in the open interior hallway, where external people and users who live in the second floor residence have the opportunity to connect with others.
