High level of work ensuring the cultural life of the capital, said the architect Flor de María Valladolid

Lima returns to its performance under the conception of a model of urban renewal which makes it possible to have a modern and functional structure. Thus there is an important step and model reconstruction, restoration and expansion of the future will Teatro Municipal Museum, which will harmonize with the recovered public space as the future of Arts and Paseo Park Rufino Torrico, who will also be the delight of all citizens feel more proud today to have the most important cultural center in Latin America. Thanks to the former mayor of Lima, Dr. Luis Castañeda Lossio, Lima retold with a lavish work own in the big cities. Gone was the sorrow of that fire that consumed their facilities in 1998, it now looks like the tenacious efforts of thousands of people who worked at the Municipal Theatre with its restoration, reconstruction and structural reinforcement. Just as the modernization and enhancement of all their physical environment has been an effort where all to put the maximum amount of knowledge and skills to achieve a renovated theater now appreciate for the capital and all Lima residents and visitors of the historic center, said the architect Flor de María Valladolid, manager of the Municipal Property Lima (Emilima) and promoter of this building project. - How does it feel to get to complete this monumental work for the city of Lima? "I am very happy and very happy to be able to take stock of this work and the effort made by a team that has worked on the case, especially, the Municipal Theatre, which has more than 3,000 people between engineers of different specialties, architects, restorers and artists, "he quoted the architect Flor de María Valladolid Explains who have worked more than 350 thousand pieces of art, style and sculptures, which have been carved anew and placed, and now look at the Teatro Municipal in all its magnitude, majesty and beauty. All this work was done with the greatest historical rigor said. So too can see a magnificent Main Hall, the Hall of Mirrors and the Board of Viewers, whose exclusive details such as plated gold leaf ornamentation, furniture and a recovered back the prestige acquired Teatro Municipal City Lima. - How did these historical investigations to achieve the precise details of the pieces of the theater? "We've done the checks on the entire file of the Nation and all existing archives, private archives that were provided to us, so we kept the legitimacy and that is an accurate restoration. Everything has been restored as they indicate the original plans to have the Municipal Theatre, the official said building industry. The second step will In its second phase of the project, which was approved in August 2010 by the Lima Metropolitan Council regarding the work of the enhancement of the environment. This meant first complete the expropriation process had been made and the eviction of nonconforming uses was because they were printing, which occupied the property adjacent to the Municipal Theater, "as well as new studies and technical documents supporting it. - public tenders were made corresponding to the joint efforts of the enhancement of Teatro Municipal de Lima? have been made public examinations for the remodeling of the old dressing rooms that existed in that area. Will also feature a museum and administrative offices of the Theater, a walk to be called "Paseo de las Artes", and also completely remodeled Plaza Rufino Torrico. The Municipal Theatre was built as between batches had no side walls, and now I will have these structures that are about open galleries, which have a fundamental role: Integrate the theater with a circulation absolute and total, without any limitation, for any person wishing to enter any of the spaces of enclosure. This is an extremely important contribution and we will make great efforts because the task which we must carry on the back is able to do it in less time. desert Contest Having not awarded the tender we will have to take ourselves too and direct action are we going to do today with a meeting develop schedules and be able to address quickly, he Emilima manager. The most complex part of the Teatro Municipal has been precisely, and after having received this request on time of former mayor Dr. Luis Castaneda Lossio, and having seen an old project, which was not approved by the Municipality of Lima which was to approve the demolition and subsequent reconstruction of the Teatro Municipal, following the events of the fire-and now, this meant making all structural tests to see the real strength of this building, considering it was built in 1920. At this time it became clear new building construction fortified with (using steel) and while it was also true that had not been structurally, a commitment of any kind, revealed Flor de María Valladolid, because everything that was sculpted in plaster treatment, had absorbed all the heat and had protected structure. What had failed totally, were the structures of iron and were there. Its resistance level had decreased 92%. And it was useless. How could get to know the structures and the appearance of the Teatro Municipal? What scientific method used for this task of engineering? Right now the Municipal Theatre is a 100% seismic structure which has the beauty of the XIXth century to the twenty-first century technology. As modernity has already completed and would not have been possible without the strong support of Dr. Luis Castaneda Lossio because we had to break many barriers in time, in the process and the day to day, and only, this policy decision and This allowed systematic support could be done in less time. Because all agreements have to be approved in advance by Council Agreement and the procedures are very slow and very difficult and we had not have been possible without this commitment. The Teatro Municipal de Lima have also incorporated improved techniques and quality materials. We got to really used then-modern techniques for Peru to make a structural reinforcement from Municipal Theater foundations that would allow adequate response to a seismic application up to 9 degrees. virtual model was made with the quake, which allowed us to measure how they respond to various requests seismic conditions had. And this forced primarily the reinforcement from the ground and in each of the steel columns were reinforced with a special design, but in addition we also had to put carbon bands to reinforce concrete. The other area that has gained Lima Regarding the new Metropolitan Museum of Lima - space donated by the Municipality of Lima, the architect Valladolid said that is open to the public also in the December this year, it has a testing process and complete automation of all equipment. said Valladolid this property, since its approach and need to convert it into a museum today is that the Metropolitan Museum may pick up the soul of the city and Lima could be shown to the public and visitors to our city, not just seen as a Lima in 1535 and how was before, but also a city that was a gravitating body as a people, from 10 thousand years before our era. We had to promote and raise the Hispanic worldview and how was the colony, part of the precursors, the stage of emancipation and modernization and that Lima had gravitation throughout and keeps up today.

restoration, modernization and enhancement of the Municipal Theatre was rigorously history.


City Ballet opened a new stage of the Teatro Municipal.

More than 350 thousand pieces of art were recovered by a select group of artists.

Dr. Luis Castaneda Lossio was in charge of reopening the Lima culture icon who has risen from the ashes.

Its projection into the future, and the 2050 has a virtual reality presentation and it was important to find a building that would allow the municipality to make a proposal for the city. In this regard, on January 3rd, I receive the direct orders of the mayor of Lima, which he says: "search for all properties in the municipality of Lima, from the nineteenth century and find me one where it is possible to develop this museum because it is a commitment to this effort with the city. "

investigated and found that the Municipality of Lima did not know who owned this property. We call upon the State to make us return the property and with the clear understanding that in the future this is known as the Metropolitan Museum of Lima.

And from that moment begins to develop pre-investment studies, feasibility, and began to study the global supply, so we traveled to China and countries around the world where there were some presentations character virtual.

Look how was the presentation technology in the world when it comes to taking the decision that it was possible to combine all these efforts, technology and practices that existed in the world, the Municipality states that the theater exit forward and is the mayor who puts this project as priority municipal investment and credit for this is that develops a contest where it states that the community incorporated as a municipal investment projects and this competition is won by a Lucho Llosa specialized team is pursuing this project.

The theater is fully completed and according to the commitment given to the Mayor of Lima, we must also complete the enhancement of the self and the environment.


Other areas to recover
I think there is an extremely important issue for the next administration is that when in the month that the mayor Dr. Luis Castañeda was elected there was a commitment to recover the slum areas of Lima.

That became a mainstay of the entire management and chose the most impaired of the city, the most crowded and had more than 50 years doing nothing, and I receive the order to identify all the micro treatment zones of the historic center of Lima and develop a strategy and financial recovery, and sustainability for the families occupying these properties in these slum areas.

is how it carries out the first comprehensive recovery program is the housing complex The Wall, and the first action of urban regeneration is the apple of the Trail and Soledad that allows us to recover not only the housing project La Muralla but the House of Thirteen Doors, Mendoza's house, the house of eclectic balcony, and the house Cuadra Warehouse and we can identify the first floors of occupation of the city, where the squares of the sixteenth century - XVII, and XVIII. These places are pebbles, with some treatments in the ear, with a brick arches - wonderful, "where a museum will also, as a milestone in the recovery process from the center of Lima.

Wall is identified Lima, the seventeenth century as the embankments riverside wall of the sixteenth century and are located between fragments 200 000 pieces and intact parts of the whole transition from the occupation of Lima.

So, this fact is very important, says Flor de María Valladolid, because designing a strategy for economic sustainability of family and work the whole of the historic center with the 460 blocks in the plan urban regeneration and implements the Urban Regeneration Fund with existing resources of the Municipality of Lima and was approved and is part of the strategy of Dr. Luis Castaneda Lossio allowed us and should continue making room for the second action of Cañete and as this should also recover all the blocks from the historic center of Lima.

This would allow the creation of the National Urban Renewal Fund so that no slum housing but housing quality and dignity for all people, stressed the official metropolitan area.

"However, the task accomplished and conveys that passion to us Lossio Mayor Luis Castaneda, who has been the source of inspiration for us and a constant challenge for the whole process and has been shared by the 3 000 people who accompanied this project for all of Lima, "he concluded.
