The proposal participating in the reconstruction of the areas identified as reinterpretation and transfer structures, types and habitation systems, such as those developed in residential traditional sets. The house was considered a cube-unit, from which a portion is removed to accommodate a natural element, the tree. Although typologically has angular arrangement, maintains its cubic development, to organize around the vacuum was removed, surrounding and nurturing, that lost, preserving as housing, this thought of protecting the tree. (By Benjamin says the house is a kind of casing and casing of man “preserves its trace”). The architectural area of the house is developed around such desires and attitudes. Is both a set of relationships, structural mechanisms and properties of space, which develops a typology of certain place. Where tradition is interpreted not as a reproduction of forms, but as a transformation of its meaning and its materiality coordinated according to the environment that corporate. The question of Paul Ricoeur, how can a culture be modern while returning to its roots is timeless. How can revive an old inactivated culture while participating in an international culture.
