The Construction Typology and Its Relationship in the Architectural Image of the Buildings in the City of Oxapampa, a South German Colony Located Within the High Forest of the Department of Pasco in Central Peru

Our investigation had as objective, the study of the constructive typology that was developed in Oxapampa, this given that people from Germany and Austria arrived in Peru, who upon arriving in Oxapampa began with the development of an architecture which has both Austrian and German architecture that differs from the entire jungle region and even from the entire country, the architecture that the settlers impose is very well suited to the area due to the configuration of its climate, and they begin to exploit natural resources such as wood, for this reason it was possible to identify the constructive typology and the relationship it has with the architectural image. A data collection was carried out through observation sheets of the typological characteristics of the buildings located within the “Monumental Urban Environment”, this to analyze to what extent the constructive typology influences the architectural image of the buildings of the city. With the use of the descriptive statistical system we obtained results that define the architectural typology, the predominant materiality based on wood and how it relates to the architectural image. It was determined that the construction style contributes to safeguard the cultural heritage of Oxapampa; whose architectural use can be seen in the frontal elevation of each building within the zoning called “Monumental Urban Environment”, as well as the state of conservation influences the cultural valuation of the buildings under study, which represent a vernacular manifestation.
