Resumen
The importance of the Built Vernacular Heritage is unquestionable as well as its uniqueness, due to the different techniques and materials used to adapt it to the site conditions. Because of its historical, social and cultural conditions, it is about protected goods whose conservation is a need understood by society and its institutions. This Thesis focuses on a renovation proposal in a vernacucular architectural example of a traditional Mallorcan architecture, studying a house located in the Sierra de Tramuntana, next to the Gorg Blau reservoir and known as the Finca de Almallutx. Initially, the traditional architecture of the area is analyzed to understand how it originally was and to identify the changes supported. This study is completed with the characterization of the current materials and systems. Taking into account all the above information, a renovation project is drawn up combining different needs: respect for traditional architecture, current technical solutions to the endemic problems of their original systems, the necessary adaptation to their current use and respect for the natural environment that surrounds it, which was awarded as World Heritage Site.
