Creativity and originality, concept and identity, visual impact, versatility, technique and presentation are the criteria that will be considered in the contest. The call, already open, closes on the 15th of this month. Details are at www.lima2027.org.pe.
The earthquakes in Venezuela have once again brought to public discussion the vulnerability of buildings in Peru, especially in Lima, and the bad practice of using tambourine brick in informal buildings. How widespread is its use in the capital? There are several districts, but there are nine critical cases, according to a report by El Comercio: San Juan de Lurigancho, San Juan de Miraflores, Villa María del Triunfo, Villa El Salvador, Comas, Carabayllo, Lurigancho-Chosica, Puente Piedra and Mi Perú.
Worrying news is the preliminary arrest of the president of the Superior Court of Justice of Apurímac, José Alberto Tinco Luján, for his alleged links with the criminal organization Las Corbatas Negras, which would have influenced decisions of the justice system. His arrest occurred in an operation by the Anti-Corruption Police and the prosecutor’s office carried out in Lima, La Libertad and Puno. In addition to Tinco, his wife, lawyer Eleonora Puscla Anampa, and officials of the Apurímac court were detained.
