Sébastien Moriset, « Training with craftspeople and maintenance of traditional knowledge », HAL-SHS : architecture, ID : 10670/1.6x8d91
The loss of know-how is a disaster for the preservation of vernacular architecture and the intelligence it carries. Centuries of accumulated experience in building with local materials are being wasted. Where vernacular architecture is still practised, the informal transmission of knowledge from father to son or from craftsperson to apprentice is rapidly dying. Knowledge transfer is a prerequisite to ensure that the best possible conservation practices are implemented and that contemporary designers understand the materials and techniques of the past in order to be able to propose reinterpretations adapted to present-day realities
