ABSTRACT
The aim of the SOSTierra Project (Restoration and Rehabilitation of Traditional Earthen Architecture in the Iberian Peninsula. Guidelines and tools for sustainable intervention) is to investigate the possibilities of compatible, respectful, and sustainable conservation and re-use of non monumental earthen architecture in the Iberian Peninsula, shunning standard foreign solutions and prioritizing options which respect technical and cultural diversity and the lessons in future sustainability. Traditional architecture, and especially earthen architecture, can provide important lessons for a broad concept of sustainability in the modern world. Expert analysis and evaluation of the interventions in the different fields uses a multidisciplinary methodology to draw up guidelines and a list of tools (manual, website, exhibition, symposiums, etc.) to guarantee the actual transfer of the project results to the specialists and society in general through the relevant administrations and official bodies.
