    Default Rural architecture

    • The Log Cabin of Western Serbia




    Typical Homestead of Western Serbian Cottages

    The Log Cabin with straw- or shingles-roof is found mostly in forestous and mountainous areas like Zlatibor and Tara region in Western Serbia (and in general in the dinaric alps - Western part of Serbian Kraijna, Bosnia, Eastern Montenegro).

    The luscious pine forests supply with good building material. Usually it has an elongated form, stands on a stone cellar and is placed orthogonally to the steep terrain and shows the cellar (izba) on the downhill side. Also typical is the huge pyramidal high-hipped roof placed on a relative low cubus of the cottage. Usually different cottages are placed together and build a harmonious looking homestead.

    Homestaed of Cottages in Tara National Park, I like in particular how all the color graduation are only made by choosing different colored stones and different kind of Woods


    Derivates of the Dinaric Cottage in Kusturica's "Drvengrad": he maintained the traditional language in shapes and materials and adapted it modern requirements.


    Timber Cottages in Trsic (Vuk Karadzic's village): where the terrain is steep, the house has to adapt with its soccle



    Every cottage had its purpose. A typical homestead consisted of a chicken coop, a corn crib, a baking cottage, a place for drying plums, a guest cottage, a granary and a milk house for instance.

    • The Moravian House


    Typical old Bondruka (link to the picture)


    In the area of the West Morava (Central and Eastern Serbia) it's more the Bondruka-type of house, usually two-room (living-space and sleeping-space) with tented roof covered with ceramic tiles. The walls are plastered and mostly white. Some have a stone socle or even a stone basement underneath. The Moravian House is widespread all over Serbia.

    • The Pannonian House (Vojvodinian House)


    In the flat Vojvodina region, the layout of villages is orthogonally structured and houses are laid perpendicular to the street. So they were organized with a front room (living-space) a backroom (sleeping place) and a kitchen (with fireplace) just after the front porch. Between the houses lays the garden and the yard.
    Influenced by Austro-Hungarian Empire these houses were often decorated in Art-Nouveau and Baroque-Style.


    For more information about the Houses of Vojvodina there is a good link in Serbian here.


    • The Oriental Style House in Southern Serbia



    (link to the picture)

    The Konak (word from turkish - palace) was represented for most of the eighteenth century and early nineteenth century, that is to say the end of the Ottoman presence and autonomy of the Principality of Serbia. Vranje is a city with lots of this style of houses.

    In general, buildings of this period include a basement and two floors. The walls are pierced by many windows arranged symmetrically. The façade is decorated with one or two bay windows, a cantilevered glass Advanced overlooking the street and expanded interior space, while the courtyard façade is decorated with a balcony. The court, located at the rear of the manor, is fenced by high walls.



    • Coastal Stone Houses


    Stone houses are situated in Eastern Hercegovina, on the Montenegrin Coast and in some part of Dalmatia. Usually not only the walls were build in stone but stone was used for the roof decking as well.

    ^ Terrible - what a blight !. It would be better if they would look at traditional styles and modernized the interior and isolation in order to improve comfort.



    Wake up and smell the coffee.

    Class 1 candidates for controlled demolition. Bring in the explosives experts on one table and architects and urban planners on the other and put both to work.

    Ah, but, do you know; they're not actually that bad, once you live in them! And that's a HELL of a lot of countryside saved from suburban sprawl.

    Well it depends on who is living in those apartments. Are they locals ? Warn them and give them a temporal place while you blow it all up and build new apartments. Are they.. a more unpleasant people: don't bother. BOOM!
