description This paper describes the process and outcomes of “Panel M.T.C” research as an innovative building system for rural houses in Boyacá (Colombia). Housing in this context is an important issue as it involves remote areas, characterized by extreme poverty. Nowadays, traditional building techniques have been supplanted by more modern solutions although they are hardly applicable in rural areas and unaffordable because they involve imported materials. The proposal of Panel M.T.C. is based on the reinterpretation of bahareque2 , using local resources (wood, earth, caña brava) and recovering ancestral knowledge related to the local tradition. The research is divided into two parts, one on the socio-cultural context and the other on building techniques. For this purpose, a workshop with artisans was launched in Ráquira (municipality of Boyacá) and some local inhabitants have been interviewed. The panel is modular in order to facilitate prefabrication while the completion occurs by self-construction. This solution achieves flexible one storey housing, where sustainability is key to respond environmental, social and economic needs. Eventually, this project could be applied in comparable contexts of the world with few changes to fit local conditions.

Este artículo muestra el proceso de investigación y realización del Panel M.T.C. como técnica constructiva para viviendas en zonas rurales de Boyacá (Colombia). La edificación de viviendas en este contexto es algo delicado ya que se trata de zonas alejadas y caracterizadas por una gran pobreza. Actualmente se ha perdido e l uso de las técnicas constructivas tradicionales, adoptando soluciones “modernas” inadecuadas al contexto y costosas (materiales convencionales). La propuesta del Panel M.T.C. se fundamenta en la reinterpretación del bahareque1 y permite usar recursos locales (madera, tierra cruda, caña brava) y conocimientos ancestrales relacionados al contexto rural boyacense. El proyecto se articuló en dos fases, una de estudio del contexto socio-cultural y otra de investigación sobre las técnicas constructivas. Por ello se organizó en Ráquira (Boyacá) un taller con artesanos y algunas entrevistas a los habitantes. De tal manera se desarrolló un panel, cuya modularidad permite la parcial prefabricación y su conclusión a través de procesos de autoconstrucción. La solución permite desarrollar viviendas sostenibles de un piso, respondiendo a las necesidades ambientales, a la población y en acuerdo con el contexto geográfico y cultural. Sin embargo este proyecto abre un camino para profundizar en contextos y situaciones análogas. 2021-11-10T01:00:32Z 2021-11-10T01:00:32Z 2019-07-24 Artículo revisado por pares info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85 http://revistas.uan.edu.co/index.php/nodo/article/view/143 http://repositorio.uan.edu.co/handle/123456789/5615 spa http://revistas.uan.edu.co/index.php/nodo/article/view/143/118 Acceso abierto Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess http://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2 application/pdf Universidad Antonio Nariño 2346-092X 1909-3888 REVISTA NODO; Vol. 12 Núm. 23 (2017); 38 - 48
