| Summary: | This article rescues two proposals by Pedro Paulet from the architectural and urbanistic field at regional scale: a huge building to host settlers and a plan to develop the northern part of Lima with connections to other places of the continent. Both were conceived as gigantic interventions in the territory. Paulet, a versatile man, also contributed to the development of interplanetary travelling, with rocket-powered aircrafts. His spaceship projects and architectural ideas seems audacious. His futuristic vision of space encompassed even the largest scales, with high-tech construction and planning proposals, which also addressed political, social and economic aspects. For all these reasons, his initiatives help to understand the modernizing projects in Peru and America in the 1920s and 1930s. |
