Description
Summary:This paper intends to reflect upon local building techniques - built with timber and bamboo - as a tool for sustainable development within Colombian Coffee Cultural Landscape and to emphasize the utility of community involvement in multidisciplinary based cultural policies as a key to achieve sustainability while improving quality of life in developing countries. This research was motivated by the growing disappearance of several historical buildings in the city of Manizales and the vanishing of traditional building techniques in the hands of non-adapted modern technologies. This paper analyzes regulation concerning Cultural Landscapes; values local building techniques from several perspectives; and ends with a set of proposals looking forward for the benefit of culture and development of this territory
