Abstract

The importance of identifying our built heritage, which represents the response of our culture, its history and evolution,allows us to reflect on its importance regarding cultural identity. But this manifestation is not always recognized inthe basic unit which is housing, since it is often unperceived within the context in which it is located. Understandingthe materialization of this as man’s relationship with space and territory through ways of living adapted to the times,understanding not only the cultural but also the economic as well as social aspects and risks involved in the territorialsettlement can prove that traditional architecture is a response to the different variables that are part of a culturalidentity. Through the architecture of San José de Maipo we show the significance of the response of housing in theidentification of cultural identity and heritage that we should not fail to appreciate because of the relevance in thereflection of the history of peoples.
