THE CULTURE, THE CONSTRUCTIVE CULTURES, THE MBYÁ GUARANI, THE TEKO JEAPÓ AND TEKOÁ

Abstract

Is there more intelligence in the pointed arch, in ribbed vault, in buttresses  of  the  Gothic  churches,  in  the five   points   of   Le Corbusier's new architecture, in the reinforced concrete of Niemeyer‟s, or in  an   autochthonous   Mbya   Guarani  architecture? Based on this analysis, it is intended to discuss the phenomenon of culture, at  first  evidencing  the  need  to  leave  behind  the evolutionist precepts that still hover in the Western imagination, in relation to  an  evolutionary  hierarchy  between  civilizations and also, from the notion of constructive cultures, talk about Tim Ingold's in „„dwelling perspective‟‟ and then build  a  dialogue based on the production of the Mbyá Guarani shelters, their relationship  with  the  environment,   the   spirituality,  the  way  of organizing work and also the systems of dissemination and construction of knowledge. Orienting towards the reflection of how certain societies produced constructive technologies more legitimized by  factors  linked  to  cultural  tradition  than  to  western hegemonic technical reason, which neither reduces the character of intelligence, but rather reinforces the wealth of  the  power of adaptation and development of techniques capable of solving their problems and solving their needs  for  shelter  and  social interaction.
