The project Mud\u00e9jar plaster, an element of identity, knowledge and opportunities for the future<\/em> has had a broad scope with the aim of facilitating knowledge for a compatible intervention in the traditional architecture of Mud\u00e9jar villages.<\/p>\n\n

The objectives have been, on the one hand, to disseminate the true role of plaster in traditional Aragonese architecture, carrying out a study and quantification of the construction systems and techniques carried out with traditional plaster in the villages of the Mudejar territory, both in popular architecture and in monumental architecture. And secondly, to study the composition of a plaster that can be manufactured nowadays and that preserves the legacy received, allowing the reactivation of some of the quarries studied and fixing the population in the rural environment, for its reintroduction in contemporary architecture or for restoration and rehabilitation; including the analysis of its economic, social and sustainable viability, returning it to some of the uses it had in the past.<\/p>\n\n

The municipalities that took part in this study were Ani\u00f1\u00f3n, Borja, Calatayud, Daroca, Fuentes de Ebro, La Almunia de Do\u00f1a Godina, Maluenda, Quinto de Ebro, Ricla, San Mateo de G\u00e1llego, Tauste, Terrer, Tobed, Villa de Jiloca, Villafeliche, Villamayor de G\u00e1llego and Zuera.<\/p>\n\n

During the study of these municipalities, the construction typologies executed with traditional plaster in old and recent constructions have been identified, locating major aspects that coincide between the municipalities in the versatility of the use of plaster, both in interior cladding, fa\u00e7ade applications, exterior decorations, flooring and structural elements until the great change that construction underwent between 1950-1970 with the arrival of modern materials, relegating traditional materials to oblivion.<\/p>\n\n

Mineralogical studies of Mud\u00e9jar plaster have revealed the presence of hydraulic phases in Mud\u00e9jar plaster (which was fired at very high temperatures), making these plasters much more resistant to stress than modern plasters, which are fired at very low temperatures.<\/p>\n\n

With this contribution of knowledge about this traditional material, the importance of preserving the legacy and knowledge of making Mudejar plaster, a process that remained unchanged until the mid-20th century when the link of knowledge passed down and refined over many generations was broken.<\/p>\n\n
