Resumen
Traditional architecture represents the majority of the architectural heritage thatsurrounds any territory. This architecture is linked to a tradition, a link with the naturalenvironment and knowledge that are part of the intangible heritage of any community.However, it is currently marked by abandonment, changes in use and theloss of the traditional trades that built it or made it evolve. This article is part of alarger project that highlights the more modest architecture of a region in the westernMediterranean Sea. The article outlines how popular knowledge directly relatedto construction techniques and the evolution of modest historical centres has beenrecovered. It studies the links with the heritage of the local population and artisans.It explains how a search for traditional trades has been carried out, the lessons theyhave taught researchers and the prospects that this heritage can have through participationand collective management.
