| Resumo: | The following paper inquiries about the place from where the official history of architecture in the American continent is located, based on the idea of the primitive cabin as founding myth. Using the case of Chile as an example, the non-existence in the narrations that seek to find the origin of the national architectures of the built pre-existences of the indigenous peoples who inhabited the territories prior to the arrival of the Spanish conquerors is raised. As a proposal, a parallel is made from the tale of the symbolic emergence of architecture in the Western world, with the characteristics and relevance of some examples of indigenous built vernacular heritage in Chile. Thus, we seek to make a deliberation that enables a change in the founding discursive referents of architecture in our continent. |
