Abstract
Con la investigación se propone mostrar la existencia de la arquitectura vernácula en la
ciudad de Trinidad para el conocimiento, estudio y difusión de las diversas manifestaciones
de esta y como un importante medio para la salvaguarda de este patrimonio.
Existen considerables evidencias de la presencia de la arquitectura vernácula en la ciudad de
Trinidad y en el Valle de los Ingenios, que va desde lo más primitivo como el bohío
tradicional, las viviendas de embarro, hasta la casa señorial.
La Arquitectura predominante, la doméstica, se vincula al desarrollo socioeconómico de la
Villa, caracterizada en cada etapa con elementos distintivos que no afectan la homogeneidad
del conjunto.
Las edificaciones se van adecuando a las posibilidades locales en cuanto a materiales y
soluciones constructivas, por otro lado se adaptan a las condiciones climáticas, así se
pueden ver, gruesos muros, aleros que vuelan, altos puntales, enormes ventanales que
alivian el calor y dejen pasar la luz, bellos patios interiores en que se recogen de manera
sabia las aguas pluviales en aljibes, entre otras.
