Architecture as conservation, makes the display the architectural heritage architect as a design not itself but as the last step towards this, respecting the architectural and historical evidence of his time, respecting their authenticity , so that does not falsify or their history or their aesthetic value.
Achieve revaluation of architectural heritage is no easy matter, not simply to conserve it and maintain it, depends in turn on the environment where you are, keep the story alive to this day is more than a social, cultural or political, is to involve and engage with the environment next heritage knowing that the man is the result of its history , we must ensure that bond together.
From serving charters, conventions, meetings, workshops, and others, While the conservation of architectural heritage, if the relationship between himself and his environment itself does not have a link that will help both to develop and not just stay out of what happens to each other. A visible example of this is in our city, Warivilca Archaeological Complex, located south of Huancayo, which has not only an architectural value, also has a historical, cultural and social value, which is not fully appreciated, the disinterestedness of his nearest half, the people, to the efforts made by the entities responsible for its upkeep and maintenance are in vain.
