-----------------
I am pleased to inform you that the Departments of Engineering and
Architecture of the Catholic University of Peru (PUCP) are organizing an
International Seminar of Architecture, Construction and Conservation of
Earthen Buildings in Seismic Areas. The seminar is sponsored by Proterra (a
Research Project of CYTED), the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute
(EERI), and the Getty Conservation Institute (GCI).

This event will take place on the PUCP campus, from 16-19 May 2005. It will
include keynote conferences from international experts, oral and poster
presentations, and technical demonstrations at the Structures Laboratory of
the PUCP, where full-scale seismic simulation tests of adobe dwellings will
be performed.

You are welcome to visit the website of SismoAdobe2005 at
www.pucp.edu.pe/eventos/SismoAdobe2005  for more information, and of course,
you are warmly invited to participate in SismoAdobe.

I would also like to ask for your support by spreading the word about
SismoAdobe2005 among the persons or institutions interested in architecture
and construction with earth, and in conservation of earthen monuments.

Thank you in advance for your collaboration.

Best wishes for a peaceful and safe 2005.
