Vernacular architecture in general and earthen architecture in particular, with their rich variety of forms worldwide, are custodians of the material culture and identity of the peoples who built them. In addition, they are widely recognized as ancestral examples of sustainability in all their variants and interpretations, and the architecture of the present ought to learn from these when designing the sustainable architecture of the future. The conservation of these architectures – seemingly simple yet full of wisdom – is to be undertaken now given their intrinsic value and their status as genuine examples of sustainability to be learnt from and interpreted in contemporary architecture. Vernacular and earthen architecture: Conservation and Sustainability will be a valuable source of information for academics and professionals in the fields of Environmental Science, Civil Engineering, Construction and Building Engineering and Architecture.

From Vernacular to World Heritage

This publication brings together the results of the project 3DPAST: Living and virtual visiting European World Heritage, co-funded by the Creative Europe EU programme. The research highlighted the exceptional character and quality of living in vernacular dwellings found in World Heritage sites. This was possible by seizing the cultural space of European vernacular heritage, located in Pico island (Portugal), Cuenca town (Spain), Pienza (Italy), Old Rauma (Finland), Transylvania (Romania), Berat & Gjirokastra (Albania), Pátmos (Greece), and Upper Svaneti (Georgia). New digital realities grant the possibility to visit and to appreciate those places, to non-travelling audiences, who lack the opportunity to experience this unique heritage in situ. Creative potential is highlighted in 3D models and digital visualisations, which associate outstanding local knowledge with the vernacular expression of World Heritage.

La regió de l'Exposició

Aquest volum, coordinat per Ferran Archilés, professor del departament d'Història Contemporània de la Universitat de València, no s'ocupa tant de l'Exposició en si com de la societat valenciana de 1909 i del conjunt del primer terç del segle xx, amb una especial atenció a aspectes diversos d'història política i cultural, habitualment menystinguts o valorats de manera separada i que per primer cop tracten de ser interpretats ací de manera conjunta. A més, es fa un èmfasi especial en els marcs de construcció identitària de la societat valenciana: el marc regional inserit en el de la nació espanyola de la Restauració. l'Exposició Regional va ser el resultat, i alhora un esperó, d'una identitat regional, contradictòria i complexa, destinada a consolidar-se al llarg del segle xx i arribar fins al nostre present.

Sustainability, Risks and Resilience of Vernacular Heritage

This book offers a variety of analyses, methodologies, and reflections on the behaviour of vernacular architecture in the face of natural hazards, with an emphasis on the strategies that can be used to cope with them. The different examples of vernacular architecture studied in this book highlight the cultural wealth of this type of heritage, which has not only adapted to locally available resources and the needs of individual populations but has also successfully responded to the natural risks it encountered. As regards the types of risks analysed, the chapters focus on the impact of natural events on this type of heritage, proposing different methodologies for the analysis of vulnerability...
