Adobe is a construction material based on the ancestral knowledge of the popular acquis, mainly used in the Colombian and Latin American rural territories. In most cases, its use is linked to the difficulty of access to conventional construction materials, generated by the disconnection and distance from urban areas, and the economic difficulties of these sectors of the population. However, some populations have chosen to maintain the tradition of using this type of non-conventional materials, safeguarding the traditions that this implies. Given its popular relevance and architectural implications, it is presented a study on using adobe in the municipalities of Nunchía and Pore of the department of Casanare. The applied methodology includes strategies such as direct observation of adobe constructions, specialized data sheets to samples from laboratory tests for studying its mechanical properties, semi-structured surveys to Nunchía and Pore's people, and individual interviews with experts on its elaboration. This work seeks to value and safeguard the ancestral knowledge of the processing techniques and properties of adobe, like a patrimonial manifestation under threat of dissipation for using conventional materials.
