Finally, the architecture of the Palestinian dry-stone hut is analysed in terms of spatial organisation, location, socio-cultural aspects, construction forms, materials, techniques and proportions. Several constraints arose during the study, including the lack of coherent documentation of the locations of the huts, the risk of collapse of several structures caused by their severe deteriorating condition and the absence of people with direct visual contact with the entire process of the building of these structures. Dry-Stone Huts throughout the Mediter- ranean Region The traditional vernacular architecture of a region evolves over time to reflect its environmental, cultural and historical context.

  • Maltese Stone by Damjan Hidic University of Ljubljana July 2009
    Page 430 Maltese stone by Damjan Hidic University of Ljubljana July 2009 ABSTRACT Malta Summer School is an event prepared by the Belgian organisation Xpeditions, which operates in the field of anthropological research. The heads of the project are Marc Vanlangendonck and Sam Janssen. The purpose of the event is to research areas connected with anthropology in a place where the group lives for a certain period. The rich history of Malta testifies that over the centuries, or rather millennia, it has played an important strategic role as a defensible point in the middle of the Mediterrannean. The remains of the Ggantija Temples can be seen today on the island of Gozo, which have a specific place in the development of the earliest sacral architecture. The underground temples and tombs hold a special place. The next important period is the Renaissance. Valetta is one of the most important Renaissance towns, which, according to tradition, was planned in a mere six days. This period was followed by the Baroque. A well-known name from that time is Count Giovanni Battista Vertova, who was a mathematician and military engineer. Contemporary architecture provides the last framework. Here it is worth mentioning as a curiosity the production of modular stone in quarries in a way that is characteristic only for this area. In addition to new buildings, vernacular architecture must also be mentioned, to which belong girnas or shelters, hides for bird hunters, beehives in walls, wells etc. ARTICLE INFO Introduction Malta Summer School is an event prepared by the Belgian organisation Xpeditions, which operates in the field of anthropological research.

  • Los Chozos Extremeños: Referente Histórico Y Recurso Socio-Cultural Para El Futuro
    839 Los chozos extremeños: referente histórico y recurso socio-cultural para el futuro JOSÉ LUIS MARTÍN GALINDO Presidente de ARTE (Asociación por la Arquitectura Rural Tradicional de Extremadura) INTRODUCCIÓN La arquitectura tradicional o vernácula, constituye una de las expresio- nes culturales más significativa de cada estructura socio-económica; es la expresión de la experiencia histórica de cada colectivo. Por ello el principal factor que determina las diferentes formas y tipos constructivos es el socio- cultural, por encima de cualquier otro factor como podrían ser las condicio- nes climáticas o las limitaciones materiales y técnicas. La arquitectura tradicional es el testimonio material construido vincu- lado a un lugar, un pueblo y una tradición, que pretenden definir la identidad de un territorio y sus factores de diferenciación cultural. En definitiva, la arquitectura tradicional de un territorio es fiel testigo de la cultura y herencia de un pueblo. Pero también la arquitectura tradicional o vernácula tiene unas caracte- rísticas universales, comunes a todos los pueblos y países del mundo: “la arquitectura de lo disponible” y el uso de materiales vivos que nos pone en relación con su concepción telúrica. La arquitectura vernácula de cualquier pueblo o país destaca por el respeto al entorno y a la naturaleza del lugar, es la simbiosis de características culturales y naturales. En definitiva, la arquitectura tradicional ha sido una respuesta a las necesidades físicas y espirituales de un colectivo, de una comunidad, creando 840 JOSÉ LUIS MARTÍN GALINDO unos modelos arquitectónicos originales en razón de su experiencia históri- co-cultural y por las adaptaciones ecológicas propias de cada territorio.

  • Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION
    Cover Page The handle http://hdl.handle.net/1887/41440 holds various files of this Leiden University dissertation Author: Said-Zammit, G.A. Title: The development of domestic space in the Maltese Islands from the Late Middle Ages to the second half of the Twentieth Century Issue Date: 2016-06-30 Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION “An ideal home acts as a territory that mediates, reflects, and shapes social identity.” (Amorim and Lourerio 2003: 1) 1.1 Aims and objectives The main source of inspiration that has contributed to the development of this study has been Malta’s most precious natural resource: the local limestone. For many centuries, this has played a vital role in the life of the settlers to build their abodes and settlements as well as to defend themselves against their enemies. The Neolithic settlement of Skorba and the megalithic temples are an excellent example of this principle (Evans 1971; Trump 2004). The utilization of the local stone and the human exploitation of the natural environment through the ages were two major factors that influenced how and where people live. The archaeological evidence confirms that there was further development in the use and dressing of the local stone in the Punic Period (Said-Zammit 1997a) and in the Roman Period (Gouder 1979b; Bonanno 2005). In the Middle Ages it was used for the building of churches, palaces, houses and defensive systems, spread in different parts of the Maltese islands (Dalli 2006). It was employed also for the building of various vernacular structures outside the urban centres (Fsadni 1992; Jaccarini 2002).
