Summary:

The aim of this book is to describe and explain the main characteristics of pisco landscapes and their cultural heritage. It is about identifying and making visible the multiple threads that link this industrial activity with economic, social and cultural life, in order to understand the long historical process of joint construction of the landscape, in which the various human groups that inhabit and have inhabited the territory participated, including indigenous peoples and Spanish conquerors, Creoles and mestizos, immigrants and travelers. Between all of them, through a long and eventful historical process, these landscapes were shaped, in which pisco has played a central role as a sociocultural and economic articulator. The uniqueness that this landscape acquires and that gives it a heritage character lies in the way in which human work has been articulated with its environment. The ideals of biophilia, topophilia and their expression in a bioarchitecture or organic architecture - that is, the attachment and accommodation to territorially located living processes - acquire material form in the constructive dimensions that rise in the narrow valleys of the Norte Chico. The three ideas (biophilia, topophilia and organic architecture) find an expression that reaffirms the regional vocation over the foreign models and interests that would like to be imposed on it.
