Rural areas have historically been crucial to social and economic development but faced decline due to industrialization. A new concept, termed 'new rurality', has emerged since the early 2000s, emphasizing sustainability and the quality of life in rural contexts. Today, there is a need for fresh frameworks that empower rural communities instead of relegating them to secondary status compared to urban centers. In Latin America, a significant portion of the population remains rural, prompting a need for architectural adaptation to support ongoing public policy developments associated with family farming and community resilience.
Architectural practices in rural environments are shifting to reflect not only the needs of local communities but also their intrinsic values and beliefs, resulting in innovative designs that prioritize sustainability and resilience.
The emergence of a new rurality emphasizes the importance of rural areas on international agendas, focusing on quality of life and the need for frameworks that empower local communities.
