Summary:
The vernacular Maya house is not nailed, screwed or glued, the house is moored, there is the wisdom of mooring the house (U miatsil k'aax naj), which is much more complex and symbolic than the architectural concept of building. "We leave the reader with this second edition in which concepts have been updated, advanced in understanding the philosophy of inhabiting and expanding the ethnographic content that reveals this living element that is the "xa'anil naj" (Sabal yapa "huano" palm leaves house), which in many communities is already sick, agonizing in some, and dead in others, but that has a wisdom contained in its material being, in the life that its inhabitants give it and in the ancient Mayan constructive technique of mooring houses. " (HKB Translation --Page 13.
