Résumé en anglais
This study aims to determine the existing relationship between architecture and theBenedictine tradition from the notions of dwelling of Martin Heidegger and the spirit of
place of Christian Norberg-Schultz, embodied in the Benedictine Abbey of San José(Güigüe, Venezuela), designed in the eighties by the Venezuelan architect Jesus Tenreiro
Degwitz.This work, considered as a National Cultural Property, is an evidence of both the
transmission of a heritage (tangible and intangible) and a continuous process of its owntransformation. Thus, the building is presented as a synthesis of the historical and
traditional relations, materialized in the contemporary condition of architecture; manifestingas the witness and the result of a process largely determined by the nature of the
Benedictine coenobitical practice. Regarding this, we will deal with a conception of spacelinked to the tradition and life of its inhabitants as well as the historical and geographical
characteristics of the place.
