This survey features three prominent post-war modernist works from the Lambayeque region of Peru.
The first is the FAP Residence, by Adolfo Córdova and Carlos Williams, a tropical modern “Unité-style” building for the members of the Peruvian Air Force, magnificently detailed with ceramic tile breezeblock, shifting wood scrim panels, and sculpted concrete canopies. This Latin American tour-de-force from 1959 is buffered from the streets by a defensive single-story wall but still figures prominently on the skyline of Chiclayo, setting a modern tone for the city.
