In her upcoming lecture "LA Lab," Sandra Vivanco will dissect the historic, geographical, and social conditions that make Lima and Mexico City fertile ground for urban sampling and testing. Vivanco will discuss student work produced in her urban research and design build workshop PeruStudio, as well as that of the collaborative MXDF architecture studio that she presently teaches.
Vivanco is an associate professor of architecture and cultural diversity at CCA and is a principal of the San Francisco--based firm A+D, Architecture + Design. The work of A+D has been featured in episodes of Before & After on HGTV, as well as on Peruvian TV and radio programs; in publications including Domus, Custom Home, San Francisco Chronicle, Sunset, Dwell, San Francisco, and Small Firms, Great Projects; and in two recent books: San Francisco Modern Homes and Casas en la Ciudad, Architectural Houses.
As a 2003 Fulbright scholar, she explored the role of gender in Peruvian modernity, as well as taught in the graduate architecture school at the Universidad Nacional de Ingeniería in Lima. Vivanco has authored several articles on Latin American 20th-century architecture.
