Resumen
University workshops about traditional construction systems have proven an interesting tool for the contemporary dissemination of architectural traditions. These workshops commonly seek to revitalize abandoned construction systems; however, they may also be helpful in testing research on traditional techniques, and on the virtues these techniques might offer in the light of current innovations. This paper summarizes the experience of various workshops held between 2005 and 2017 on the construction of tile vaults, a traditional construction system typical of the Mediterranean region. The description of the activities carried out in the workshops is accompanied by a follow-up on various initiatives and constructions promoted, a posteriori, by some of the participants. © Springer International Publishing AG 2018.
