The Colca Valley is located in the Andes on the <\/span>north-eastern side of Arequipa, Peru.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this place, <\/span>we can find the Colca River and the Colca Canyon, <\/span>so it has interesting natural landscapes and is known <\/span>for its wildlife: condors, llamas, alpacas, guanacos, <\/span>vicunas, and vizcachas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The children of this valley do not have access to the <\/span>adequate and safe equipment to play and develop their <\/span>skills widely.<\/span><\/p>\n

In response to this need, in 2013, the Latin American Coordinator of Architecture Students (CLEA) 1 <\/sup><\/span>developed an initiative called WAWA Pukllay (\u201cChildren playing\u201d in Quechua) to create recreational spaces through the Latin American Social Workshop (TSL) 2<\/sup>.<\/span><\/p>\n

STRATEGIES THE SPACE ACTIVATION\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    • Avoid a rigid regulatory plan for the proposal, but rather identify and incorporate opportunities that would allow manifesting the local culture of the community that lives in the Village of Coporaque.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
      • Work the object-surface relation through spatial materiality (soil and grass), local building materials and technologies (chaclas and logs) and the recovery of existing artifacts (slide and seesaw) which already result familiar for the children who occasionally make use of the place.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Based on the described ideas, a play area was developed, a playground-landscape as a sort of \u201cpenetrable forest\u201d without predisposed readings for its exploration. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

        Chaclas or masts of more than\u00a0<\/span>six meters high arranged throughout the site, along with a topography of elevations and depressions, create a place that manages to link the past scenario with the new one, where children can explore, experiment and make this space their own.<\/p>\n

        The project delivers a natural-artificial landscape open and accessible for the distension of an entire isolated population with very few resources but with a strong conviction that the transformation of this space will generate a significant contribution to the collective relations of the inhabitants of the Coporaque community in the Colca Valley.<\/span><\/p>\n
