The Túpac Amaru Cinema: Emotions that Survive Architecture Part 2 Dissertation 2021 Gianmarco Silva Tezén National University of Engineering | Peru In the context of the near obsolescence of cinema-buildings, with multiple old cinemas demolished, abandoned, or serving as a refuge for criminality, it seeks to unearth the affections and emotions that such buildings were capable of producing.This study focuses on the possible heritage value of the Túpac Amaru Cinema, a cinema located in the Comas district, a district born by the informal occupation of the territory, far from the center of the city of Lima. The hypothesis is that the affections and emotions that he aroused in his moment of glory persist despite his decline. Hence the title: “El Cine Túpac Amaru. Emotions that survive architecture ”.On these motivations, a mainly qualitative research structure is proposed around the categories of context, object and subjects linked to heritage, thus favoring a phenomenological analysis.Finally, it is concluded that the Túpac Amaru Cinema contributed to consolidate the dynamics of the ""neighborhood"" in relation to its district (Comas), and a large part of the northern part of Lima. However, if its symbolic and utilitarian dimensions are not reactivated, an important record of the history of the inhabitants of Lima may be lost.
