Mohán: Vivienda rural indígena para la comunidad Amoya la Virginia en Chaparral,Tolima

Abstract

As a legacy of the Pijao indigenous ethnicity, the Amoyá community is located in the village of La Virginia in the municipality of Chaparral Tolima, which has had problems of precarious habitability due to factors such as disengagement from the state, its difficult accessibility due to damaged or non-existent road infrastructure, the condition of the current houses that are seriously affected by the non-compliance of the seismic resistant regulations (NSR10), its materiality and the complex physiographic implantation, in addition to the economic decadence that affects its production and food, generating a population decrease that if not intervened could cause a great cultural loss. Therefore, the present study seeks, through a model of indigenous rural housing, to contribute to the improvement of the conditions of habitability and economy of the community, based on a research that contributes concepts and theories that support the indigenous rural development without losing its cultural roots, understood through three phases of analysis that provided the necessary knowledge for the project conceptualization that is reflected in the fulfillment of the current needs, the spatial functions throughout the project and the strengthening of the individual and collective relationship between the Amoyá and their environment, being complemented with a coffee mill that will favor the production of coffee. Contributing not only to the quality of life, but also to the strengthening of the cultural heritage, due to the representation of the community through housing.
