Investigación presentado en el "European Symposium on Research in Architecture and Urban Design - EURAU '10", realizado en Naples, Italia, del 23 al 26 de Junio del 2010. / This study is part of the research for the PhD Thesis “The architecture of kitsch in contemporary Peruvian architecture”, for the PhD in Architectural Composition at the Università degli Studi di. / cristinadreifuss@gmail.com / Ornament or decorative elements are a constant in spontaneous architecture.
When people build their own dwelling without consulting a professional, it will always display
some kind of sign or symbol aimi ng to make the house “beautiful”. Even if there is rarely a
consensus on what beautiful means, the preferences of the inhabitants are shown through a set
of el ements in the architec ture of their house.
Precarious spontaneous housi ng i n the peripheries of Lima (Peru) shows us how the search for
beauty occupies a fundamental place in peopl es’ priorities, emerging even before the most
basic comforts that people expects to have in their houses.
