Saberes construtivos tradicionais na moradia do território quilombola de Saco das Almas

Abstract

Beyond the materiality of constructions, the knowledge of traditional construction wisdom plays a crucial role in the study of vernacular architecture. This knowledge allows us to connect with the historical and cultural trajectory of a community and its expression through the construction of dwellings. From a historical, cultural, and architectural perspective, this work documents the processes that constitute the traditional construction knowledge of housing in the quilombola community of Saco das Almas, located in the municipalities of Brejo and Buriti, in Maranhão, Brazil. The main objective of this work was to gather current and historical information about the processes that characterize their traditional construction knowledge from the people of these communities and to document them, aiming to appreciate their traditions and customs
