In the territory which now covers Calimaya various cultural groups settled, making evident the syncretism of various building traditions. Since its formation the place was a site of passage, which communicated various goods transport, generating a peculiar urban physiognomy and cultural exchange, leading to the introduction of buildings, typical of this place. The town’s current situation is characterized by a rapid process of urbanization and social transformation, generating new needs of usage and habitability. This growth transforms the architecture of the place, replacing it with buildings with physiognomic features that do not correspond to the original context, causing loss of local construction techniques. Assuming that typology is a theoretical and creative activity allowing the definition and structuring of a system of conceptual relations, within certain limits, in order to determine the representative elements of vernacular architecture of the site, a typological analysis is being carried out to identify local materials and buildings systems, its characteristics, and spatial shape. Likewise, a constructive and architectural analysis, identifying traditional building techniques, which will favour the development of solutions facing the problem of conservation, maintenance and sustainability in the locality, is being carried out. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Objectives This paper presents the methodology used for the creation of a typological framework representing the traditional architecture in The main objective of the typological analysis is to identify the the town of Calimaya de Diaz Gonzalez, State of Mexico, in outstanding features of the architectural elements within the order to generate working tools for maintaining and preserving dynamism of the environment. The results obtained allow the architectural heritage focusing on the traditional housing. creating alternative preventive measures for the protection and rehabilitation of traditional architecture. In addition, it facilitates Nowadays the development of cities has modified the original the formation of a conceptual and technical base of technological traces, and regarding Calimaya, cropping areas have been possibilities to integrate natural and cultural environment. transformed into paths for the removal of construction materials; the original job of constructions has been modified, leading to This methodology, applied to the rescue of the heritage, supports residential use reduction. These new needs for housing, the idea that buildings of various ages and styles have to live infrastructure, services and transport, have led to a conflict together in harmony without the predominance of some over between urban development and the defense of heritage for it has others, with the possibility of formal and functional solutions generated an evident alteration to the local architectural heritage. grouping them together for reuse. By identifying historical Vernacular or traditional architecture has been directly affected, development and deterioration –common to a region or a period being destroyed or modified to build new buildings with features of time–, the proposed solutions will have balanced levels of that do not correspond to the original context, altering the shape specificity and generality; that is, if we start with the premise that and community functionality. it is valid to group the problems by types, we can also propose types of solutions (Guerrero, 1998). Thus, the preservation and rescue of the heritage starts from the identification of the traits and techniques characterizing the 1.2 Methodology architecture, which can become the technical and conceptual The typology is constructed on the base of the recognition of the basis of both, its rehabilitation and integration alternatives to particularities of the locality, where various scales of assets are the natural and cultural environment.

The work begins but transformations can be controlled and planned without with the analysis on a larger scale –the general features of the jeopardizing the essential features. These qualities are those urban scale– and finishes with the observation in detail of giving character and personality to the community, committed particular features -the ornamental elements, or construction to the idea that the conservation makes sense only as an upgrade details. of the historical process (Guerrero, 1998). * Corresponding author This contribution has been peer-reviewed. https://doi.org/10.5194/isprs-archives-XLIV-M-1-2020-1005-2020 | © Authors 2020.
