Mission Presentation
Taller & Patrimoine is an association with an international scope whose mission is to link the preservation of architectural and cultural heritage with environmental sustainability. Through the Rural Laboratory project, it has been carrying out continuous work for the past two years in Bécal, Mexico, focusing on the restoration of traditional Maya dwellings and the revaluation of traditional construction knowledge as living spaces of identity and sustainability.
Workshop Objectives
This line of action focuses on the technical and scientific documentation of buildings.
Architectural inventory: construction records of traditional family Maya houses, technical documentation, production of photographic surveys, plans, and material analysis of the heritage.
Database: creation of an open archive for academic research and conservation purposes.
