Abstract

The main topic took on this writing is about indigenous people where there is an accumulated wisdom that has been transmitted generationally which it must be respected and valued, for this it is necessary to accentuate the values of indigenous people as a contribution to society and from this perspective of indigenous values contribute to overcoming the obstacles that afflict this multiethnic people. Those obstacles can be seen if we take into account the historical fact on our country where the identity and culture of indigenous population with wealth is altered with new development ideas that establish a criterion to educate and globalize that is the topic carried out in this monograph where it manifests lost of the culture and traditions of the communities. The indigenous population represents 1.5% of the total population in our country and it shows diversity in culture and traditions that can be found in different places of the national geography. This diversity exists since before the Spanish conquest and with hundreds of years of Cultural mixes have been affected but still they have remained. Nowadays, each group conserves their origins despite government conflicts and social changes that pretend to disappear their beliefs. With this monograph it pretends to preserve the identity and tradition of a specific indigenous group called the U`was with the idea to strengthen this tribe through the diffusion of its culture. For this we want to create networks that promote knowledge that stimulate the participation and where the U’was are creators of their own development. The architectural intervention in this tribe is a real challenge because it is indispensable to respect the traditions but adapting modern advances and the ancestral origins. For this, we need a balance between design, sustainability and community support since with the implementation of this building the U`was will improve their interactions and social life.
