The doctoral thesis “European-influenced architecture in Patagonia 1879-1955” (upo, Sevilla) extended the perspective on thepatrimonial research, including a systemic interpretation of its intangible components and confirming its inseparable conditionwith the built heritage. The present text is offered as an answer to the interrogation about which intangible heritage replacedthe preexisting culture after the violent conquest and occupation of the territory, assuming that, we are part of a transformationprocess that generated our current hybridity and cultural diversity.Theorists as Marina Waisman, Ramón Gutiérrez, Jorge E. Hardoy and Françoise Choay have guided our inquiries, as well asunesco-icomos documents, however from a Latin American perspective. Given the territorial extension and complexity, the mostnoticeable in the research’s development has focused on the use of the inductive method (applied in previous researches)which allowed us to generalize from local and regional studies.Future investigations must confirm, among other topics, the validity of this heritage in other cultural expressions, answering questionsabout the influence of marginal groups that operated on the construction of everyday life, enriched by other forms of intangible heritage.
