We have recently had an architectural appearance at the San Sebastian School of Architecture. In the framework of a doctoral thesis and with the help of the architect Ibon Telleria, a variant of the knowledge of the Basque farmhouse has been presented. The contribution says that the initial construction of the dwellings of the lagar model can be located around 1450 years, when they have been dating until now in the 16th century. The dwellings were factories of the cider production of the time and the Basque territory functioned as a cider production machine, being the dwellings the unit of the machine. The farmhouse cannot be differentiated from the surrounding rural lands, one with nothing. And the hamlet and its surroundings became landscape entities.

The country's houses were wooden structures, made with trees in the area. Let us remove the stone from our Basque architectural archetype. Six spans formed the structure and all followed a modulation and a determined proportion in the foot. The structural sample of apple bites was at the center and on the platform of the first floor, adapting to the required conditions. Lagarra is a system that was developed even in distant countries, located on the outskirts of the building, and whose structure is situated in the knowledge of the construction of European wood. Let us eliminate our isolated character from our myths.

We must imagine the marriages that have come to us as a patchwork. From its construction to the present, they have undergone numerous changes, not only in their internal distribution, but also in their structure, construction and exterior finishes. They keep so much information in their matter, have experienced so many situations, have been able to distinguish all visible layer surfaces and understand that it is not just any work. Ibon Telleria says you have to learn to listen to the house. In any case, it is necessary to skip the cottage from a static image to the understanding of a frame. Only by this route will we open the imaginary of the dwelling, expand its beauty and build paths to truly love.
