Abstract
The tambos are small buildings that function as social platforms in Peruvian rural areas to provide essential services to the entire vulnerable and dispersed rural population. The Peruvian government intends to implement more than a thousand new tambos in the national territory. However, this social infrastructure program faces heterogeneous conditions and demands according to Peru’s geographical and population complexity. This article proposes developing a systematic catalog of modular components as a design strategy for the architectural approach of future tambos. Georeferenced data and climate design guidelines were used to conduct this study. As a result, the systematic catalog synthesizes critical variables such as natural regions and programmatic requirements to generate diverse architectural configurations of the new tambos. Therefore, these future buildings would be optimally articulated in different areas of influence under a systematic vision of the Peruvian rural territory.
Highlights
In 2014, the Peruvian government created the “National Program of Tambos” (NPT) intending to fight poverty in the most remote rural areas of the national territory (Li Liza, 2016, p. 34)
This indifference is in matters of climate and in the offer of spaces that the tambos as a rural facility can provide to its different influence area (Figure 6)
The findings of this research show that the NTP must change its vision regarding its physical performance in the rural territory; and it is here where the disciplinary field of architecture can contribute from the convergence of design variables
Summary
In 2014, the Peruvian government created the “National Program of Tambos” (NPT) intending to fight poverty in the most remote rural areas of the national territory (Li Liza, 2016, p. 34). The NPT implemented the tambos, which are small buildings (Figure 1) that function as the physical platform where the different public and private institutions can offer their social services to the Peruvian rural population. This functional quality of the tambos is called multi-sectorial because it promotes territorial development by recognizing that the rural territory is made up of diverse actors and small locations Future tambos will have to be located in other rural population centers where the physical and demographic conditions are still uncertain due to the planning of the Peruvian government, the remoteness of the location areas, and the geographical complexity of the territory that comprises the Peruvian rurality
