Taos Pueblo: A Community-Led Approach for Preserving Tangible and Intangible Heritage.

Abstract

[cat] La conservació del patrimoni cultural pot manifestar-se de diverses formes, en alguns casos incloent els professionals de la disciplina i en altres com a acció natural d’una comunitat. Aquest Treball de Final de Grau explora els diferents plantejaments possibles en un projecte de conservació i restauració de patrimoni cultural. El treball se centra en Taos Pueblo, EE.UU., com a estudi de cas i exemple de projectes de conservació, guiada per una comunitat, que preserven efectivament tant el patrimoni tangible com l’intangible. A través d’un estudi bibliogràfic s’han establert els aspectes positius i negatius d’un enfocament guiat per una comunitat, i s’han adreçat les prioritats i necessitats d’aquesta tipologia de projecte. S'estableix una proposta d’intervenció, prenent a Taos Pueblo com a base, però adaptable a qualsevol comunitat amb característiques similars, per prioritzar tant el patrimoni tangible com l’intangible i el benestar comunitari.

[eng] Cultural heritage preservation can take many forms and approaches, some of which include the involvement of conservation professionals and others occur as a natural action of communities. The following dissertation explores the approach options to take during a conservation restoration project regarding cultural heritage. The project draws inspiration from Taos Pueblo, USA, which serves as a valuable case study and example of community-led preservation efforts that have proven to be effective in safeguarding the tangible and intangible heritage of a specific community. Through an in-depth literary review, the positive and negative aspects of community-led approaches are established, as well as the priorities and needs of these kinds of projects. An intervention proposal is presented, using Taos Pueblo as a base, but adaptable to any community with similar characteristics, to prioritize tangible and intangible heritage, as well as the wellbeing and preservation of the community.
