Comparative analysis between Inkilltambo in Cusco, Peru, and the Longmen Caves in Henan, China
Rock-cut architecture constitutes key cultural infrastructure in many ancient societies, shaping ritual, spatial, and symbolic practices through direct engagement with the geological substrate. This study addresses the relationship between rock-cut architecture and sacred landscapes through a comparative analysis of Inkilltambo in Cusco, Peru, and the Longmen Caves in Henan, China, with the aim of identifying construction, spatial, and functional…
Color as cultural expression
Rock art studies increasingly recognize color as a key semiotic dimension of visual communication across diverse cultural traditions. This study develops an interdisciplinary and comparative approach to examine color as a form of cultural expression in rock paintings from Peru and China, employing a qualitative and interpretive research design grounded in iconographic analysis, chromatic comparison, and archeological and ethnographic review. The …
A comparative architectural study between the Inca llaqta of Ollantaytambo (Peru) and the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang (China)
This study addresses the lack of comparative architectural research on how different cultures transform rock into distinct ritual and symbolic spaces. The article presents a comparative analysis of rock as a ritual space in the Inca llaqta of Ollantaytambo, Peru, and in the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang, China. The study focuses on understanding how the same material acquires different architectural and symbolic meanings depending on cultural contexts …
Spectrophotometry of Chromatic Variability in the Rock Paintings of Tecsecocha, Ccorca, Cusco
This communication presents an approach to the chromatic study of rock painting scenes in the Tecsecocha sector, Ccorca district, Cusco, Peru, through the application of color spectrophotometry using Capsure by XRite, considered a portable device that facilitates reference measurements of color codes belonging to the visible spectrum (400–700 nm). It is evident that this methodology does not perform the physicochemical characterization of the pig…
Iconography in the Mural Paintings of the Santa Catalina Convent as a Symbolic Element in Cusco’s Viceroyal Architecture
This study examines the mural paintings of the Chapter House of the Monastery of Santa Catalina in Cusco within the context of Andean colonial architecture, aiming to analyze their iconography as a symbolic and theological resource. A qualitative methodology was employed, based on iconographic analysis according to Erwin Panofsky’s theory, complemented by documentary review, photographic recording, and thematic categorization of the pictorial ele…
Voids and Architectural Regeneration
This systematic review examines and critically classifies the strategies applied to abandoned urban voids through the analysis of peer-reviewed scientific and technical literature, addressing the lack of integrative studies on the topic. A systematic search was conducted in the SCOPUS database for articles published between 2000 and 2025, following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Sixteen studies that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed using the…
Patologías mecanicas en elementos líticos de las iglesias patrimoniales en la Plaza Mayor de Cusco
Para categorizar las patologías de los elementos líticos y diagnosticar el nivel del daño existente ocasionado por los agentes extrínsecos e intrínsecos en las fachadas de la Iglesia Basílica Catedral y de la Compañía de Jesús, se aplicó el enfoque mixto de nivel descriptivo transeccional a través de la observación directa. Fueron registradas siete patologías líticas clasificadas en el grupo de mecánicas (disgregación, grietas, fragmentación, per…
