ABSTRACT

The application of the systemic approach in the field of monumental architecture heritage has led to a Systemic Method, which allows us to structure and to integrate, without repetitions, the cadence of all the necessary operations in order to carry out a proper intervention in a building, from its knowledge until the selection of criteria on the architectural project. But earthen architecture has a different history. The main point is that the restoration of monumental architecture has a tradition of over four centuries, which brings endless ideas about applicable experiences and intervention in earthen architecture does not exceed three or four decades. The previous scheme is not useful and it is necessary to design another one, albeit following the same principles. The purpose of this paper is to propose a new systemic method for the earthen architecture which operates in a similar way to what is explained about monumental architecture.
