ABSTRACT
Constructive solutions in traditional architecture are born of the materials available locally which were used to achieve the best possible technical and architectural adaptation to the local climate. Given the importance of traditional materials and systems and their effect in the conservation and restoration of traditional architectural heritage it was decided that a specific section should be dedicated to the recovery of traditional constructive techniques within the Spanish National Plan for Traditional Architecture, drawn up by the Spanish Cultural Heritage Institute (IPCE). The main objectives were to create a database on the current situation of available traditional materials, the production and use and the survival of specific trades linked to production and execution, encouraging their use in these traditional architecture restoration processes. This text aims to present the methodology and the results obtained in the study in 2013 and 2014.
