Abstract(s)
Popular, tradicional o vernácula son algunas de las denominaciones empleadas para referimos a una arquitectura que ocupa hoy un lugar propio en nuestro Patrimonio Cultural y especialmente importante en los territorios de baja densidad. Sin embargo, a pesar de este interés y de la extensa investigación acumulada en nuestro contexto europeo sobre sus expresiones materiales, una reflexión detenida revela que carece de conceptualización clara y coherente. Y dicha ausencia, si consideramos al Patrimonio como construcción cultural, es ciertamente preocupante por cuanto condiciona la aprehensión y conservación de aquello que se pretende salvaguardar.
¿Sabemos realmente lo que es la arquitectura vernácula? ¿Existe hoy, en una sociedad industrial y globalizada? ¿Cómo debemos conservar este patrimonio? Este trabajo aborda estas cuestiones desde una perspectiva cultural y crítica, esbozando una conceptualización más integral y actualizada para dicha arquitectura.
Popular, traditional, or vernacular are usual denominations to refer to an architecture that occupies today a significative place within our Cultural Heritage, especially important in low density territories. However, despite this interest and the wide research accumulated in our European context about its material expressions, a careful reflection reveals that it lacks a clear and coherent conceptualization. . This is certainly worrying if we consider Heritage as a cultural construction, because it conditions the apprehension and conservation of what is intended to be safeguarded. Do we really know what vernacular architecture is? Does it still exist, in an industrialized and globalized society? How should we preserve this heritage? This paper addresses these issues from a cultural and critical perspective and outlines a more comprehensive and updated conceptualization for this architecture.
