CIAV – Vernacular Architecture
Who? Vernacular Architecture Committee of ICOMOS Mexico
What ?The Vernacular Architecture Committee of ICOMOS Mexico will celebrate 18 April with an event in a rural village.Romelia Gama and Jaime Silva, architects, both members of the local vernacular architecture committee, are organizing an event in Tlaxmalácatl, Huitzuco Municipality, in Guerrero State.
In this place there is a building from the around 1920 which was the first school of the village and now lodge the local archeological and historical museum. The vernacular building has been very well preserved. Unfortunatly in our country there is no law to protect vernacular architecture for all kind of architectural types. Because of this situation and in order to raise public and authorities awareness, we decided to give emphasis to both kind of heritage: the educational type and at the same time the vernacular buildings.
The local authorities will support the event organization. The students of all levels and local inhabitants will assist to the celebration, which will take place in different places the whole day. They will appreciate the exhibition of photographs which has been done with the collaboration of others members of the Committee.
From Yucatan PhD. Aurelio Sánchez Suárez have sent several photographs which belongs to the Mayan Area in Yucatan, which illustrate several open public spaces locally called: “ramadas” and “tablados” that normally are used for traditional festivals called “vaquerías”, but also has been used for religious teaching cult. There is plenty of information related to the traditional technical construction systems.
From Xochitlan, on the North part of the Puebla State, Ph.D Gerardo Torres, (also a member of CIAV), have sent very important vernacular examples in photographs and text, that show a rural and traditional architecture of a local musical school where they teach the children to play the “huasteco son” and the “huapango”, both musical local and regional traditions. Some others photographs present the rural vernacular building for the primary school still in use.
