Luis Longhi

Luis has a deep connection to the roots of Peruvian Architecture and communicates that through his work. He has the ability to give the feeling of traditional Peruvian, even ancient Inca, architecture and blend it with modern materials and techniques in a way that makes it seem timeless;

Luis Longhi is a Peruvian architect who studied for a master's degree in architecture and sculpture at the University of Pennsylvania and worked in many architecture firms while in the United States. He spent six months working on his project in India. In 1994, after working in the United States for 13 years, Luis Longhi returned to his native Peru to set up his own firm, Longhi Architects.

Luis Longhi has multiple identities, as an artist, sculptor and architect, his inspiration often comes from his design practice during his creation, takes "follow your heart" as the basic principle and conveies the view that "nature is holy product". First of all, as Peruvian architect, in his works, he deeply expresses his respect for the local environment of Peru; Secondly, he defines design behavior as the behavior of making holy decisions, which will give him a greater sense of responsibility, so that he believes that the creative work of architects is driven by divine power.

Luis Longhi was fascinated by Carlo Scarpa, an architect with poet temperament, on his way of exploring architecture. They are all architectural poets who are moved by "beauty". In the endless exploration of architecture, each sacred fragment gathers into a powerful whole, which becomes unexpected and surprising because of each fragment. Architecture can be fragmentary, disembodied and full of poetry, but it must be a powerful whole in the end.
