Este artículo nos acerca a dos recientes restauraciones llevadas a cabo al norte de la provincia de Huesca, en España, en dos pequeños edificios de arquitectura popular y local, cuyas cubiertas han sido realizadas utilizando losas de piedra como material de cubrición. Ambos edificios, de uso colectivo, un lavadero y un horno de pan, fueron construidos en su momento para cubrir unas necesidades básicas relacionadas con la alimentación, la salud y la limpieza personal. Supusieron, por tanto, una mejora en las condiciones de vida de los habitantes del lugar y son hoy buenos ejemplos de su patrimonio construido que muestran el alto conocimiento que se tenía tradicionalmente sobre la utilización y la preparación de los materiales del entorno que resultaban más adecuados para cada función: los mampuestos y las losas de piedra, la madera y el barro.

Ponnani, a historic port town located at the mouth of the Bharathappuzha River on the Arabian Sea, was a prominent trading center on the Malabar coast of Kerala, India, in the 15th and 16th centuries. It is one of Malabar’s few surviving historic towns, with its heritage sites intact along with its building types, historic streets and alleys, local culture, and traditions. But some of its historic buildings are on the verge of dereliction and need immediate attention. This study attempts to convey an understanding of Ponnani, with an analysis based on field visits and existing literature. The relationship between the region’s architecture and landscape and current threats to its heritage is explored. Its vanishing traditional knowledge systems and vernacular architectural types are also discussed, in what may serve as a reference for adaptive use by future generations.

Munsiyari is a region located at an altitude of 2,200 meters in the hilly state of Uttarakhand, India. The eponymous town is surrounded by twenty-two villages mostly inhabited by Bhotiya tribes, who once formed a community that traded with those crossing from India to Tibet, though this trade came to an abrupt end with the 1962 Sino-Indian war. Owing to the region’s prosperity, the villages exhibit a very interesting typology of hill architecture. This architectural identity is also a manifestation of a geographical and cultural response to a difficult terrain. Our study was carried out as part of the preparation of a dossier for inventorying the Kailash sacred landscape with the aim of documenting the present state of the traditional vernacular heritage of the selected indigenous community for the UNESCO nomination of the wider region. That thorough documentation process was used as a means of analyzing local vernacular heritage and its current situation, and with a view to offsetting the rapid transformation of the past two decades.

The devastating explosion in Beirut’s port on August 4, 2020 will forever be engraved in the memory of the Lebanese people. Within moments, a city with over 5,000 years of history was in ruins. Aside from the terrible casualties, the blast impacted one of the largest concentrations of heritage buildings in the city, dating from the 19th and 20th centuries. For this reason Beirut Heritage Initiative (BHI) was established in an attempt to help restore the city’s built heritage and to preserve both the urban and the social fabric of the damaged neighborhoods. BHI’s first mission was focused on emergency works such as rapid sheltering and consolidation of damaged buildings to prevent further damage due to the winter weather. After this emergency phase, BHI has engaged in partial reconstructions to enable vulnerable inhabitants to return to their homes, and a third phase has focused on full restoration projects for highly damaged buildings.

Though short, Aotearoa/New Zealand’s history is rich and holds an abundance of knowledge preserved in the form of songs, beliefs, practices, and narratives that inform this country’s unique place in the world as well as the identity of its people. This paper observes that with migratory history and a heritage of colonization, the people of Aotearoa/New Zealand express three identities: indigenous, colonial and migrant, all with a claim to appropriate representation in the country’s built fabric. It discusses the current state of knowledge by looking at the history and architectural tradition manifested in Auckland, the largest and fastest-growing city in Aotearoa. It adds that further research is required to understand and develop an appropriate methodology to address Auckland’s growing multiculturalism, which lacks adequate expression.

A través de mi experiencia como arquitecto en la isla de Lamu, Kenia, se explica el proceso constructivo empleado en la arquitectura tradicional de la cultura suajili. Este tipo de arquitectura es un reflejo de la mezcla de influencias que componen dicha cultura: bantú, árabe, persa e india, todo ello adaptado a su vez a los materiales y técnicas disponibles, así como al clima de la zona. La narración personal de la construcción de la Casa Selas sirve como hilo conductor para explicar los diferentes elementos y métodos constructivos empleados desde hace siglos en la arquitectura de la isla.
