Reúso Adaptativo de la arquitectura Rural: propuesta para la conversión de los espacios de una Vivienda Vernácula en San Pedro de Vilcabamba

Abstract

Abstract: This projective research addresses the adaptive reuse of the vernacular dwelling "Casa Aurora" (San Pedro de Vilcabamba) to refunctionalize it as a wine production and tasting center. Facing the issue of heritage abandonment, a mixed methodology was applied, integrating construction diagnosis with enological and bioclimatic requirements. The architectural proposal is based on "material syncretism," where steel and glass dialogue with the existing adobe. The design proposes a vertical zoning based on gravity: the basement leverages thermal inertia for the wine cellar; the ground floor is leveled to a single grade (N+0.00), eliminating barriers to create an accessible "social nave" merging production and exhibition; and the upper floor privatizes the residence via a curtain wall. Finally, a lightweight exterior deck is inserted to integrate the landscape, demonstrating the feasibility of reactivating rural heritage through sustainable and reversible strategies.
