ABSTRACT
The existing architecture in the south of the city of Valencia has been determined since its beginning by the natural landform and the Albufera lagoon. Assessing the different models of the area and their structural techniques, it is worth mentioning the use of earthen building techniques. Originally, environmental conditions suggested the use of earth as the main construction material. However, the few vestiges that remain go unnoticed. This research aims to contextualize in time, type and condition all those constructions that preserve, although not in their totality, the elements built with earthen techniques: adobe, cob, rammed earth, amongst others. Besides, it looks for the reason of its former application and disappearance, replacement or abandonment of use in new construction.
