Reading of syntactic relations of configuration and intelligibility”, “The beginnings of the modern architecture in Cusco, 1950-56”, “Structural evaluation of the dome of the Tacna Cathedral and reinforcement proposal”.

The topics of this publication are not only related to the architectural field, but reach multidisciplinary content, as we seek to promote the formation of a scientific culture, in order to build a critical analysis of reality within a physiographic and environmental structure. ARQUITEK is currently a member of the Latindex Board of Directors with the purpose of entering Scielo on an intermediary basis and then SCOPUS.

Consequently, we reaffirm that the value of the journal lies not only in those who write the scientific articles contributing to knowledge from their extensive and accredited professional and research career, both nationally and internationally, but also in the valuable commitment of external reviewers and the sustained work of the Editor Committee, partners in the construction of this edition of ARQUITEK.

The methodology and results are the silver sword and dagger that seal the adhesion alliance to the scientific research practiced by ARQUITEK in seven academic editions and seven scientific editions.
