Career
Career
He graduated as an engineer-architect in 1944 and was a professor at the Department of Architecture at the UNI and at the Federico Villarreal National University. He was a supporter in favor of a modern style of architecture that would replace the old-fashioned French-style of Lima, and supported—but did not sign—a manifesto that was published in El Comercio and El Arquitecto Peruano in 1947 that supported this movement.
