Luis Longhi
Luis Longhi´s American experience started when he became the only student at the University of Pennsylvania to carry out the studies towards two master degrees simustaliusly, graduating as Master of Architecture and Master of Fine Arts with major in sculpture both with Honours in 1984.
As student he met BV Doshi who invited him to work at his studio in Amhedabad, India, where he spent 6 months designing housing systems and visiting projects that
Doshi collaborated with Le Corbusier and Louis Khan.
Back in the US, he worked as personal assistant to Adele Santos in her Philadelphia Studio, to later continue his professional practice in offices such:
David Slovic Architecture and Urban Design, Bower Lewis & Thrower Architects
both in Philadelphia, Gruen Associates in Los Angeles and Farrington Design Group
in Atlanta.
In 1991 while working at Gruen Associates he studied Computer Animation for Architecture at the GSD Harvard University, adopting since then the computer as the main instrument for conceptual design.
In 1994, after 13 years of experience in the US, Longhi decided to return to his native Peru, where he started his own professional and academic practices..
His personal search as architect and sculptor finds answers in the design and construction of small architectural projects, scenographys, exhibitions and installations in which ancestral Peruvian craftsmanship is used.
