Spookily familiar scenes. I wonder if the architect was influenced by dmt experiences as well as the pre Incan Tiwanaku culture he claims as a major influence. Id never heard of this ancient civilisation before, but, looking at photographs of their city and temples, there doesnt seem to be much similarity to these modern creations.
 
^^^^ Spookily familiar architecture indeed. When I see stuff like this I smile.

Pieces of these images certainly have a flavor very very close and a style that's inescapable. :)
 
Theres a better architect, that has closely worked with tribes in Peru to create a more 'modern incan' architecture. While this is beautiful and stuff, its heavily ornamented, while this architects work is a lot about form and space. I can see some Spanish colonialism that creeps through the Bolivian Architects work.

Just two of my favorite projects by him.

And here are his philosophies, i posted them in another thread, but thought they might be of interest here.

We Peruvians have the most incredible architectural background. One can find brilliant solutions of how to deal with nature in every intervention done by Incas and Pre Columbian Peruvians at where their Empire used to be. However contemporary Peruvian architecture doesn’t represent such conditions.

There is a question which answers help me look for the modern Peruvian architecture. Where did we loose the connection?

The best way for natives, at Taquile Island in Lake Titicaca, to express themselves is by weaving, in fact they learn to weeve before reading or writing. Traditionally, the way to report their year round activities is by using different types of symbols on thier weaved waistbands, an important piece of their attire. This community had maintained their ancestral traditions for centuries, becoming one of the few communities in the planet where one can find and learn essential ways of living. I feel fortunate to collaborate with them in the Master Planning of their Island. They expect vanguard architecture coming to their place; I feel vanguard architecture should appreciate the basics of life.

A long time ago, I was very moved by a futuristic movie in which, due overpopulation on Earth, people had the chance to choose: date, place, atmosphere (favorite song, movie, etc) to pass to a better life. Since then I thought of that moment as something every person deserves to have; however, considering that the situation is not possible in our society, the closest to that sublime moment should be the place in which you will live your last years. For me as an architect the issue is a magnificent opportunity to create, this is exactly the design circumstances of the house in the hill of Pachacamac. The client gives the commission to design the place where he is going to live after he retires from work.He could have asked for the place where he is going to die, or simply for the place to find eternity. The Inca and pre-Columbian cultures settled in the arid Peruvian desert for centuries are excellent examples of how to deal with all these issues

The night before to a planed visit to Puruchuco an Inca architectural site near Lima, I was reading a text by Louis Khan and Gabor in which they talk about light. Not only until I entered to one of the rooms at Puruchuco, where I could appreciate the particular way in which the incas used to invite their God ( Sun) to their intimate spaces that I understood the real meaning of what I was reading the night before: ….“What is the shadow of white light?” Gabor has the habit of repeating what you say, “White light…white light…I don’t know.” And I said, “Black, Don’t be afraid, white light does not exit, not does black shadow exist.” …

Also there are 3 or 4 Frank Lloyd Wright houses that are done in a early century modern mayan temple style, very cool buildings. (IMO)

Also I'd add that the twisting, rolling up/into, flowing/melting of beams into rooms, rooms into beams, the archways, the circular points strung throughout reverberating multi-hued color schemes that flow and melt into new shapes, the use of symbol-like forms on the beams, the multiple shades of coloring, all of that strongly reminds me of several of the qualities of the dmt experience.
 
wow. this is so incredibly cool and uncannily familiar...
thanks for sharing this
closest representation yet to what i've (we) seen and visited...
again, wow.

Mmhm, many of the qualities and style of that guys architecture come ultra close imo. Usually with peoples art or architecture it's only brief bits and pieces that carry that style and flavor of the dmt experience, but personally I'd have to say that this persons style covers quite a few bases regarding a deep tryptamine experience [ime].
 
Your welcome. I am working on my liscence to practice in the USA but if i move to peru i hope to work for longhi. I have done some studying under a first nations architect from Canada and it was a great experience

Given the location, comparisons with mescaline visions would be equally appropriate.

The average price of these homes are between $300,000 and $600,000, which makes them unavailable for the public, but the perfect housing for the Bolivian bourgeoisie.

Always the way with palaces, it seems. (Which in no way detracts from the staggering optical qualities of the architecture itself)
