Restauración de Monumentos Nacionales, Freirina, Región de Atacama Calcedo Garay, Ronal Andrés Quincha traditional knowledge conservation status integral intervention Case Study Quincha conocimiento tradicional, estado de conservación intervención integral. Caso de estudio 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. La quincha del Norte Chico de Chile, es un sistema constructivo de alto interés patrimonial, no solo por su valor histórico y arquitectónico, sino además por el conocimiento tecnológico intrínseco presente en este tipo de edificaciones que combina, de manera singular, dos materialidades recurrentes en la arquitectura tradicional chilena: la madera y la tierra. Sin embargo, su situación actual es de alto riesgo debido a la amenaza que ejercen fenómenos naturales como sismos, temporales e inundaciones, y la introducción al territorio de sistemas constructivos de carácter urbano y homogeneizador, que han propiciado el poco interés por aprender los oficios tradicionales materializados en este tipo de patrimonio. Este es el caso de la Iglesia Santa Rosa de Lima y del Edificio Los Portales de la localidad de Freirina. Ambos edificios declarados Monumentos Nacionales en 1980, fueron intervenidos integralmente entre los años 2016 y 2017 en respuesta a su debilitada condición estructural y estado de conservación preocupante. El presente texto describe la experiencia del proceso de restauración de ambos edificios, en una localidad parcialmente urbanizada y de alto carácter rural, cuyo impacto en la comunidad significó la revalorización de este tipo de construcciones y su posicionamiento en el contexto patrimonial chileno.
