ABSTRACT

Traditional earthen architecture is highly vulnerable to globalization and adaptation to current requirements and uses. The main aim of this article is to establish the characteristics of different earthen constructive techniques, their state of conservation, and their presence in different points of the Spanish autonomous community of Aragon. This territory has a very heterogeneous geography and climate and the physical, material, structural, and implementation techniques are the response to the optimization of resources in each location. The literature on the different earthen techniques in the region of Aragon was reviewed. In addition, the assessment and reference mappings in the area under study made it possible to establish relationships and comparisons between architecture and specific locations.
