Architecture, interior design and gender: participation and commitment of women with the Peruvian built heritage during the 20th century, formative implications

Abstract

The study aims to publicize the participation of women in architecture and interior design and their commitment to the Peruvian built heritage during the 20th century, identifying gender references for the training of future generations of architects, which implies recognizing the character formative of the present analysis. From an interpretive paradigm and qualitative approach through a documentary analysis and interviews with key informants, an essentially ethnographic study was carried out. The results confirm that during the 20th century architects and interior designers demonstrated their commitment to built heritage in different areas of professional practice and their participation was conditioned by the context of the time.
