Transferencia tecnológica de técnicas vernáculas en comunidades rurales, prototipo de vivienda campesina en Santa Rosa de Viterbo

Abstract

Boyacá has been characterized by its important tradition in the construction of vernacular housing. In the Vereda Cuche - Santa Rosa de Viterbo, it was evidenced through field visits that the vernacular constructions are in ruins or deteriorated, therefore, they are not habitable. Recent constructions use industrialized systems that implement polluting materials, such as steel, concrete, some paints and varnishes; it also requires fossil fuels and electricity, the main generators of carbon dioxide, causing a high impact on the ecological footprint; It was evidenced that the region's own wealth, such as wood and construction materials, is wasted, thus causing the displacement of artisanal construction, such as rammed earth, bahareque, adobe, wood, stone, among others and causing the lack of sense of cultural belonging of the place, which affects the area physically as well as socioculturally and economically. Therefore, this proposal sought, in addition to designing an agricultural community, to develop a prototype of rural housing in bahareque, identifying the ancestral architectural conditions of the place, to generate a series of activities at the village level, encouraging the development of sustainable production systems associated with construction techniques and activities such as agricultural production, for the appropriation of the place. To achieve this objective, environmental, socio-economic, cultural and housing aspects of the place are characterized, implantation and technological strategies are formulated that adapt to the dynamics of the residents of the area, peasant housing prototypes are designed and one of them is built. them in bahareque, as an evaluative method of the training process and knowledge transfer.
