Estrategias proyectuales vernáculas como alternativa de vivienda para sectores menos favorecidos

Abstract

This initiative stems from the urgent need to rescue and promote indigenous construction techniques, deeply rooted in local culture and tradition. These alternatives, sustainable and contextspecific, emerge as an ideal response for housing construction in these regions. It has been proposed that these technologies can provide affordable housing solutions, improve the quality of life for residents, and strengthen resilience in the face of extreme events. This research adopts an interdisciplinary approach that merges knowledge from architecture and sustainable development. Various theoretical and practical references are explored, highlighting the relevance of regional architecture in relation to the environment, culture, and community identity. A model is proposed that combines ancestral wisdom with contemporary innovation to create efficient and comfortable housing solutions. The objectives of this project include investigating the causes of discomfort in rural housing, analyzing its formal and ritual elements, designing an aesthetic prototype of sustainable and selfbuilt vernacular housing, and providing practical solutions for its implementation. This involves providing easily accessible and affordable tools for the application of vernacular techniques. It is expected that this initiative will contribute to raising awareness about the importance of preserving traditional construction techniques and promoting more equitable and environmentally friendly development in rural and marginalized áreas.
