Sinopsis
Juan Carlos Machicado explores the ancestral past of Cusco through a perspective that combines observation, interpretation, and a deep interest in the Andean world. In this book, he proposes new readings of Inca architecture, particularly the possible iconographic content found in the stone walls of the city. By examining specific shapes that he identifies among the masonry, Machicado suggests that the Incas may have represented elements of their worldview in architecture, just as they did in textiles and ceramics. His approach encourages readers to look more closely at Inca walls and reconsider the meaning behind their forms and compositions. Original and thought-provoking, this work offers an interactive exploration of Cusco's architectural heritage and raises new questions about how ancient Peruvians expressed their spiritual world.
