Sandra Barclay, Barclay and Crousse — Lima, Peru

Sandra Barclay was formed as an architect in Lima and Paris, and obtained a Master’s degree in Landscape at the UDP, Chile. Sandra has received the 2018 Woman in Architecture Award from the London-based Architects’ Journal and Architectural Review. She has been a member of the jury for the 17th International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale and the Jury Chair of the Cycle 4 of the Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize (MCHAP 2022). Sandra co-founded Barclay & Crousse Architecture in Paris, in 1994, established in Lima in 2006.

Sandra Barclay and the Barclay & Crousse studio consider their work as ongoing research, in which each project informs the next one in terms of hypothesis, strategies, and building processes. In each project the Barclay & Crousse studio explores the bonds between culture, territory, climate, place, and technology, constituting the main ingredients at their disposal. Working with what is available helps the Barclay & Crousse studio formulate good questions about the means they have to engage and the meaning that our buildings will convey. In the same way, the German scientist Alexander Von Humboldt was the first European to realize that the section, and not the plan, is the only way to understand the central Andes region, Sandra Barclay shows all of their projects through sections and not plans.
