ABSTRACT
Most of the pieces that constitute an Asturian hórreo - only wood - have multiple features: they are resistant, the y must bear, transmit and distribute loads, resulting in a totally articulated and extraordinarily flexible assembly (Cobo, 2007).
In spite of being outdoors, the main problem of conservation of these specimens lies in the absence of a global register that includes all the hórreos, the lack of detailed information of each one, the bad regulations in terms of legislation, the rural exodus and the limited knowledge of what these constructions mean.
This article presents some of the solutions proposed to reduce these problems and protect this heritage as it deserves, by using new technologies which offer solutions within everyone’s reach.
