The mission of "Typologies: The Current State of Traditional Housing in Mexico" is to bring forward the voice of the native population and demonstrate their architectural traditions and knowledge. The objectives of the project are as follows:
• Produce knowledge through collective and democratic means. In other words, become facilitators to collect and organize the knowledge found in localities.
• Document the historical transformation that rural communities are undergoing.
• Promote the participation of the residents in the investigation of their communities through dialogue and reflection.
• Give the information gathered back to the communities so that they may use it to make future decisions about their living spaces. It is their knowledge and traditions, so this step is essential.
• Reflect on what we have learned throughout the investigation.
• Recognize traditional wisdom and promote the image of the community members as generators of knowledge.
• Demonstrate the impact of housing policies, land management, and environmental well-being on the community inhabitants.
The investigation is separated into regions (southeast, northeast, midwest, and northwest) and will be presented in the "Houses For All" Exposition presented by the Institut für Auslandsbezienhungen IFA (German Institute for Foreign Relations) in Stuttgart during April 2019.
