Revitalization of Architectural and Ethnological Heritage: Recovery of Vernacular Building Techniques in a 19th-Century Winery

摘要

The research was aimed at the restoration of the facades and frames of the Rósula Winery, which date to the 19th century. The abandonment and subsequent damage of the winery offered a challenge in the preservation and revitalization of its vernacular techniques. The plan of action mainly concentrated on the preservation of its construction, unavoidably linked with its history and local character. The discussion herein starts by analyzing the local character and environment in order to understand the current situation of this heritage. Furthermore, a continuous analysis and search for technical materials and solutions compatible with the structural deficiencies are conducted. This approach allows a combination of aesthetic, functional, structural, and environmental aspects, highlighting the complexity of the recovery and treatment of traditional techniques, which have barely been developed by local builders. The final reflections suggest the suitability of the results and their feasibility in the sociocultural context in which the vernacular building is found.
