Vernacular Heritage and Earthen Architecture. In a continuously changing world, there has been a growing interest in the protection of vernacular heritage and earthen architecture. The need to protect and enhance this fragile heritage via intelligent responses to threats from nature and the environment has become evident. Historically, vernacular heritage research focussed on philosophical aspects and surveys, while earthen architecture studies emphasized earthen material and construction techniques. However, for these particular forms of heritage to survive, academic research had to shift its focus, so as to respond to new challenges.
Vernacular Heritage and Earthen Architecture gathers contributions of key international researchers from 50 countries, and covers a wide variety of topics: • Cultural heritage and building cultures • Materials and construction techniques • Territory and environmental adaptation • Energy effi ciency and sustainable design • Natural hazards and risk mitigation • Education and research focus.

Características de un domo de piedra, yeso y cal | adobando la tierra. Actualmente está declarada la guerra al caminante, sólo sedentarizando se puede domesticar.. Caminando en la frontera de Guadalajara con Madrid, cerca de un pueblecito que se llama Albares nos hemos encontrado con esta construcción.
Y gracias a este domo hemos andado también en su historia, sus costumbres y su geología. Porque la arquitectura popular responde siempre a una forma de habitar un lugar. En albares la actividad pastoril tuvo gran importancia, siendo un núcleo muy fuerte en comparación con los pueblos de su entorno, y esto era porque poseía una cantidad enorme de terrenos dedicados a pastos en cerros y baldíos, ya que no producían nada. La importancia de esta dedicación ganadera, que aún continua, se hace notar en el gran número de chozas y corrales que existen, una de ellas es este domo. Según un censo del ayuntamiento existen actualmente 70 construcciones de este tipo, formadas por piedras de Pedernal, Yeso y Cal, características geológicas de la zona. 1. 2. 3. Recomendamos:
