Abstract
This article is discussing the results of a Þeld research, which was
repeated several times during the year of 2003 and 2004, with the intent to
provide a better insight into the current state of the traditional architecture
on the wider region of Senjska Draga, Stolac and Žukalj.
When speaking about the features of the traditional architecture in a
given area in general, it is important to point out that we are talking about
simple, cost-effective and functional types of building constructions, which
lack additional decorative elements and protrusions on the facade.
This article enumerates the main characteristics of the building heritage
of this area: simple rectangular base of dwelling as well as economic buildings,
stone as the main building material and šimla as roof covering. The article
also provides data about other characteristic elements: trapovi, šterne, ponds
and wells, as well as drywalls.
The text is supplemented by several architectural drawings and
photographs.
The aim of this article was to provide the necessary conservationist
guidelines which would enable the successful revitalisation of this region,
through emphasising its values, and which would prevent the negative impact
on the traditional architecture and cultural landscape.
