    Vernacular architecture in the state of Michoacán, Mexico is the result of communal construction processes that are adapted to the local environment and culture. Traditional houses are constructed using local materials like adobe, wood, and thatch and feature techniques passed down over generations. While modern technologies have influenced house designs, local construction traditions still emphasize communal labor and the use of natural, sustainable materials that are well-suited to the region's climate and landscape.

    MAXICAN ARCHITECTURE

    Capital: Morelia INTRODUCTION


    Vernacular architecture is the result of the
    Population: 45.8 lakhs (2015) process of collective creation in a geographical
    and cultural space. It is a communal construction,
    a special product of the way of life of human
    groups. Solar in the Community of Ihuatzio in

    traditions, social organisation, customs and ways
    of life; always anchored to the physical conditions
    and local society. Traditional House at San Bartolo Pareo in

    MEXICO’S TRADITIONAL HOUSING

    Constructive Characteristics of the Vernacular

    In this structure, all activities were performed with


    specialized groups for each task and with the direction
    of a steward that solved all necessities of the community.

    In construction, tasks were assigned by a work


    coordinator and with concordance to the ability of the
    artisan, which made each individual a contributor to the
    community.

    In other cases, participation was made in species by


    donating materials needed in the work.

    Wood houses such as the troje, constructed totally from


    pine trees of the region, are completely assembleable.
    Walls are configured with thick articulated wooden
    boards and the main structure is constructed with
    wooden pillars and beams, which are also assembled.

    Permanencies and Transformations

    Permanencies in the purépecha way to construct are


    linked to the way of inhabitation of the spaces; manifest
    aspects of their anchoring, with results in space.

    From interacting relationships between the techniques,


    used materials, organization forms and spatial
    necessities vernacular architecture remains in close
    relationship to logical solutions in scale and proportion.

    CONCLUSION
    Even if technology has demanded new solutions, it is possible to observe
    permanencies in constructed products that have retained some special patterns
    even with the new materials.

    These transformations demand, by nature, a reflection around the necessity to


    implement new systems with techniques devised from the perpetuated
    knowledge of the vernacular architecture.

    These changes, palpable in the shapes, dimensions, materials and constructive systems
    are not compatible with the uses and habits of the indigenous inhabitants and neither
    with the environment where they live.
