Metodología para una rehabilitación arquitectónica sostenible: El caso de los palafitos de Chiloé

Abstract

espanolEl presente articulo expone la metodologia y los resultados asociados a estrategias de rehabilitacion arquitectonica sostenible en un conjunto de palafitos de la ciudad de Castro. Junto al concepto de “rehabilitacion arquitectonica sostenible” se abordan aspectos ambientales, sociales y economicos, ademas de arquitectonicos, evaluados cualitativa y cuantitativamente, en el entendido que todos ellos concurren a reafirmar valor e identidad de una cultura. El caso escogido –palafitos de Castro del sector denominado Pedro Montt 2– plantea la oportunidad de analizar el devenir de piezas fragiles de valor patrimonial, destinadas a cambiar de uso o adaptarse a las transformaciones que ha experimentado la ciudad y la sociedad en las ultimas decadas. Tras recoger datos e inspeccionar bajo tres variables (ambiental, fisica y socioeconomica) diversas unidades de palafitos, se plantean propuestas de intervencion que, rescatando los valores y atributos del lugar, abren oportunidades de mejorar las condiciones sociales y economicas para sus habitantes. EnglishThis article presents the methodology used and results achieved in a study on strategies of sustainable architectural rehabilitation in a group of stilt house dwellings (palafitos) in the city of Castro. In addition to the concept of “sustainable architectural rehabilitation”, environmental, social and economic, as well as architectural factors are addressed. They are evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively with the understanding that they come together to reaffirm the value and identity of a culture. The case that was chosen, stilt houses in Castro from the Pedro Montt 2 neighborhood, presents the opportunity to analyze the evolution of fragile pieces of architecture with heritage value that are destined to change uses or be adapted to the transformations that the city and society have experienced in recent decades. Data was collected, and different stilt house units were inspected with regards to three variables (environmental, physical and socioeconomic). Then intervention proposals were outlined that preserve local values and attributes and open opportunities to improve social and economic conditions for their inhabitants.
