Then arose the need to consider and question the knowledge of what is ours, of the construction problems and their possible solutions, which due to our negligence, has made us appear defenseless before the action of time, the agents that affect the construction process. deterioration of our historical heritage.This need for recognition has been previously reaffirmed by the Puebla Declaration, the Mexican Committee for Monuments and Sites, the University of Puebla, as well as the ICOMOS Committees in Latin America since 1978.
