Theodor Cron is one of the great unfinished projects in the history of Peruvian architecture. The result of a research project begun in 2012, this monograph positions him in the historiography in relation to the growth of Lima and the development of the modern movement in the 1950s. Photographs, drawings, plans, letters, and memorabilia are interspersed with essays written by various authors covering topics ranging from Cron's biography in Switzerland and Peru, analysis of his architectural proposal, personal perspectives, and a catalogue raisonné of previously unknown works.
