Architecture as a key discipline for the study of Rural Habitat in arid and (semi) desert climates: The case of Mendoza, Argentina
Abstract: The changes in the rural space, especially areas of (semi) desert climate, are inserted in processes of transformation and domination of nature that have an impact on the habitat configuration.

| Sumario: | Abstract: The changes in the rural space, especially areas of (semi) desert climate, are inserted in processes of transformation and domination of nature that have an impact on the habitat configuration. From this perspective, the close relationship that exists with the field of architecture is established to think about related methodological designs for their study. Therefore, the objective is to provide a base of methodological procedures to address the rural habitat of non-irrigated areas, based on the inclusion of various components that affect the layout and architectural analysis. The methodology used is the comparison of two doctoral works carried out in the same area (province of Mendoza-Argentina). The result indicates a methodological design based on the nature-culture relationship and a second proposal derives from the relationship between the habitat-territory according to the social organization of the base. It can be highlighted that the use of qualitative methodologies from the participation of the local population as key actors in the construction of habitat and territory contributes to the understanding of habitat and housing as a complex phenomenon and not only as material objects. In both procedures the architectural survey was key in the construction of data on housing and settlements. |
