| Izvleček: | The quincha of the Near North of Chile is a constructive system of high patrimonial interest, not only for its historical and architectural value but also for the intrinsic technological knowledge present in this type of buildings that combines in a unique way two recurring materialities in Traditional Chilean architecture: wood and earth. However, it’s current situation is at high risk due to the threat of natural phenomena such as earthquakes, big rains and floods, and the introduction to the territory of urban and homogenizing construction systems, which have led to little interest in learning the traditional trades materialized in this type of heritage. This is the case of the Santa Rosa de Lima Church and the Los Portales Building in the town of Freirina. Both buildings are national monuments since 1980 and were fully intervened between 2016 and 2017 in response to their weakened structural condition and worrying conservation status. This text describes the experience of the restoration process of both buildings, in a partially urbanized and high-rural town, whose impact on the community meant the revaluation of this type of construction and its positioning in the Chilean heritage context. |
