| Summary: | This paper aims to check postmodern theories spread in Peru against an architectural project.

The school’s original proposal —including buildings and details not performed in the work— was taken as a reference to explain the criticism to modernity with an architecture that puts aside historicisms and folklorisms but establishes complex relationships in its composition through a process of abstraction, imagination and reinterpretation of Lima’s spatial typology. |
