The hypothesis of this thesis is the possibility to attribute value to vernacular
architecture not only on its materiality, but above all, to incorporate its immaterial
dimension, translated by the constructive traditions, whose values - material and
immaterial, are inseparable and that guarantee the maintenance of the singularity
Such hypothesis arose from research conducted in Taquaruçu, District of the
Municipality of Palmas, located in the State of Tocantins. This place made it possible
to discover the possibility of incorporating other values into vernacular architecture.
The permanence of vernacular constructive traditions today, anchored by ecological
and human attributes, gives a sense of existence to the landscape and constitutes
the character of the place. In this sense, the study sought to provide answers about
the existence of immaterial values in vernacular architecture from the arguments that
base the evolution of the concept of landscape, as well as the identification of
territories that elucidate constructive traditions and that constitute the universe of
traditional communities. Therefore, we opted for qualitative research in Taquaruçu,
based on the physical and phenomenological aspects associated with the study of
natural and historical components, in order to provide answers to the elements that
constitute constructive architectural territoriality - material / immaterial, natural /
cultural, based on ecological, vernacular and human principles. Through the study of
these three elements of the landscape, guidelines are proposed that contribute to a
diagnosis of attribution of material and immaterial value associated with vernacular
architecture and cultural holders of the landscape. This thesis does not intend to
diminish the scope of material value traditionally incorporated into architecture, on the
contrary, to point out a third option of attributing value to vernacular architecture,
where both values - material and immaterial, constitute the fundamental basis of the
existence of certain places.
