Abstract

The article analyses the practice of proportion systems in vernacular architecture in Croatia. It focuses on vernacular architecture of two areas in Croatia. The first is traditional wooden architecture of the Northern part of Croatia where the composition is based on squares and their diagonals − growth based on the square root of two. The second is stone architecture along the Croatian coast, from Istria to Konavle, whose proportion is based on the square root of three divided by two.
