Abstract
El proyecto se desarrolla en torno a la precariedad de un espacio comunitario y las necesidades de las comunidades indígenas mapuche de la Araucanía en la zona rural. A través del estudio de arquitectura vernácula, reconocimiento de la diversidad geográfica y social del territorio, el proyecto propone el diseño de un prototipo arquitectónico comunitario adaptable, que fomenta la integración social y territorial dentro de las comunidades. El proyecto se enfoca en un análisis de la cosmovisión mapuche, sus formas de habitar el territorio y elementos arquitectónicos sagrados junto con un estudio territorial en donde, se divide la región en tres zonas según sus condiciones geográficas y climáticas y el emplazamiento de las distintas identidades mapuche. A través de esta estrategia, se identifican factores de diseño en comunes y propios de cada zona, lo que permite desarrollar un sistema modular flexible por zona, el cual puede adaptarse a cada comunidad. La propuesta arquitectónica se construye a partir de una abstracción de los elementos tradicionales mapuche, integrando un sistema mixto: técnicas locales y nuevas tecnologías que favorecen en la sostenibilidad. Así se busca generar espacios comunitarios que fomenten y promuevan la vinculación territorial e identidad cultural.
The theme of memory is explored through the precariousness of community spaces and the needs of the Mapuche indigenous communities in the rural Araucanía region. By conducting a vernacular study and acknowledging the territory’s geographical and social diversity, the project proposes the design of an adaptable community architectural prototype that fosters social and territorial integration within these communities. The project analyzes the Mapuche worldview, their ways of habiting the land, and their sacred architectural elements. This is combined with a territorial study that divides the region into three zones based on their geographic and climatic conditions and the location of different Mapuche identities. This strategy identifies both common and unique design factors for each zone, enabling the development of a flexible, modular system that can be adapted to any community. The architectural proposal is based on an abstraction of traditional Mapuche elements, integrating a hybrid system of local techniques and new technologies to promote sustainability. The goal is to create communal spaces that encourage and promote a connection to the land and a sense of cultural identity.
