La casa de adobe, un referente cultural de la identidad costarricense

Abstract

The lack of knowledge of cultural models propitiate fixation of a stereotype, therefore it is important to acquire tools for cultural understanding and validation of its referents. For Costa Ricans, the adobe house is a constitutive element of collective consciousness and also part of their identity, to make evident their cultural vitality it requires theories such as: inhabit, landscape, multiple intelligences, reflection, understanding and creativity; so the visible and non-visible images, so be validated to an adobe house becomes “native land“, to dwell in existence in reality and, therefore, a truth in itself.
