Valoración de la arquitectura vernácula de las áreas históricas y patrimoniales

Abstract

The cultural heritage, in its tangible and intangible components presents a diversity of manifestations, without diminishing the variety of patrimony is the vernacular architecture of a floor that motivates the present investigation, popular constructions that are still present and that were conceived by our ancestors to Late nineteenth century and early twentieth century to provide shelter and sustenance - works to live and work, with strong attachment to colonial and republican tradition and culture These vernacular structures are at risk of extinction and / or annulment of their values for various reasons, among the most outstanding are the devaluation. The current situation expressed by an alphanumeric categorization model minimizes the general values of the built heritage and in particular of the objects of study, this factor is not the most favorable for conservation, worse for the intervention whose praxis is to modify, reform, Expand, without glimpsing its cultural significance. In order to face the adversities to which the architectural legacy is exposed, eight chapters are established: Generalities; II know - learn; III to measure; IV value; V inherit - transmit VI innovate, and VIII each developed as a subsystem. (See illustration 1). In the order described, the mentioned chapters are gradually deepened. The object of research is to put into value the vernacular architecture which in synthesis are minds, hands and materials fused by cultural, economic and environmental aspects. For this, a new valuation model is proposed which considers three structural components: - territory, culture and society
