Abstract

Coipasi is a Quechua community. Its people tell the time and the community’s development through the interpretation of different places, within their territory, that have been occupied throughout history. In this paper, I discuss the important meaning that appear to have housing structures and materials that are made, indicating a progress from the stone or the cave in the remote past, to today’s modern materials.
