The Istrian kažun (Europe)
Borut Juvanec
Sažetak
The kažun is, undoubtedly, the most elaborate type of stone shelter. There are no strict rules for building, or constant proportions adhered to, but the use of a square, its diagonal, and its side fractioned by the square root of 2, are the key, and constant, traditional elements on which the kažun is built. The kažun in Europe represents the most advanced level of landscape planning with its precise construction and the consistency of the building method employed. This combination results in a harmonious and aesthetically outstanding building, which fits perfectly into the surroundings.
