The objective of the research was to study and update ancestral construction techniques using raw earth as a fundamental material, these techniques were taken as a reference to different pre-Inca cultures that used this material as an alternative to construction needs, as is the case of the Chan Chan city 1200 to 1465 AD belonging to the Chimú culture and the architectural remains of the Huaca Puccllana 200 to 700 AD of the Lima culture. These cultures left us a legacy of construction techniques that serve to develop a learning and teaching methodology dedicated to architecture students from the city of Huancayo who, in the experimental earth construction laboratory, replicate these techniques applied in the towns of the Central Andes. From Peru. Peru, through participation based on community service, promoting SDG 11 based on sustainable cities and communities, as a result of the methodology being based on learning, practicing, and teaching these construction techniques to the communities of Palian and Cochas that they belong to the territory of the Mantaro Valley located at 3200 m above sea level. Finally, as a result of this academic and social process, local acceptance for the use of raw land as a constructive alternative will increase, it is within these communities that the most abundant resource is used and consequently construction costs are reduced and greater access is achieved. Houses by the neighbors were formed in this process of investigation and technological extension, finally these years of work achieved the development of several investigations related to the construction on land that helped the students to graduate as architects.
