En el artículo se propone un enfoque metodológico para identificar el hábitat residencial del habitante según su cultura, en este caso, del mapuche. Para esto fue seleccionada una muestra de pocas familias asentadas en el sector de Chomío, perteneciente a la Comuna de Padre Las Casas, ubicado a 10 km al sur oriente de Temuco. La investigación utilizó conceptos actuales de las ciencias humanas sobre cultura, después de haber comprobado que la arquitectura emplea conceptos obsoletos. En la investigación fue posible distinguir las siguientes realidades sobre el pueblo mapuche que se relatan en el desarrollo del presente artículo: Gran cohesión afectiva entre los integrantes de las familias mapuches. Existencia de una acentuada rigidez huinca sobre la cosmovisión mapuche. Reconocimiento español al pueblo mapuche como “Nación Independiente” mediante la Real Cédula dictada por el Rey Felipe lV en el año 1643. Sin embargo 249 años después, Chile con sólo 62 años de vida independiente, destruye la organización socio-cultural de la Nación Mapuche y la historia no ha sincerado a la posteridad la autenticidad de los principios y realización del plan que impulsó esa acción denominada hasta el presente, “Pacificación de la Araucanía”.
