Bienvenido a casa Caike vivienda productiva campesina

Abstract

This research focuses on the Amoyá community, an indigenous council of the Pijao tribe located in the Andean region of Colombia, known for their identity as indigenous farmers. The main issue addressed is the loss of construction traditions and the decline of agriculture as their primary economic activity. These difficulties have largely been caused by the armed conflict in Colombia, resulting in forced displacements, as well as economic decline and a lack of opportunities in rural areas. The Amoyá community, despite the challenges, has maintained a strong fight to preserve their culture and ancestral traditions. Therefore, it is essential to address the loss of agricultural productivity and the intergenerational disconnection from the cultural traditions of the Amoyá community, along with their respect and connection to Mother Earth as part of their cosmogony and worldview. A proposal is made for the design of a rural productive housing model for self-construction, using native materials available in the area, such as bamboo. This design aims to address the specific needs of the Pijao Amoyá community, considering the recovery of their traditional construction culture in terms of materiality, typology, and construction method. Additionally, it aims to contribute to the strengthening of the community's agricultural economy. The proposal will be developed in a participatory manner, actively involving the Amoyá community throughout the process.
