Bocci, M., & Yuste, B. (2020). Recovering the heritage and building traditions of the village of Tacora, Chile. Journal of Traditional Building, Architecture and Urbanism, (1), 235–240. https://doi.org/10.51303/jtbau.vi1.343
Abstract
Tacora is a village in the Chilean highlands with an extraordinary natural and cultural landscape. During the last years, its population has migrated massively to the city of Arica. In 2018, the community and the Fundación Altiplano organized a training program for the restoration of the façades of its buildings. The program employed and qualified community members in traditional building trades related to construction with earth, stone and wood. This training program opens up a horizon of new opportunities for sustainable development related to the extraordinary cultural heritage of Tacora.References
