IDENTIFICATION OF COLOR RANGES PRODUCED WITH INORGANIC PIGMENTS FROM THE CUZCO AREA - PERU

Abstract

This study presents a systematic review of vernacular architecture in Peru; the analysis focuses on architectural characteristics, the use of local materials, and climate adaptation strategies employed in rural contexts and traditional communities; 107 articles published between 2014 and 2024 were evaluated in academic databases such as Scopus, Science Direct, Scielo, Redalyc, and Google Scholar, applying inclusion and exclusion criteria defined under the PRISMA methodology and managing the information through the Parsifal platform. The results reveal a typological diversity marked by the geographical and cultural particularities of each region; highlighted are the presence of high Andean dwellings adapted to extreme cold climates, Amazonian constructions resistant to flooding, and coastal buildings designed to respond to high temperatures and humidity. A predominance in the use of natural materials such as adobe, stone, and plant fibers was identified, which show thermal and environmental advantages, although with challenges related to their durability and conservation. Likewise, bioclimatic design strategies were recognized, such as solar orientation, cross ventilation, and sloped roofs, empirically integrated through ancestral knowledge. This research contributes to a comprehensive understanding of Peruvian vernacular architecture and establishes foundations for its conservation and revaluation in context climate change.
