Vernacular Architecture of MaltaJuvanec, Borut (Avtor) Maltavernacular architecturedrystoneconstructioncorbellinggirnamigbhaA drystone construction means laying one stone beside another and laying course over course on top. Corbelling is a three-dimensional construction around a central axis and composes a false dome. The article uses the author’s documentation and survey, comparison and a historical methodology, revealing their connections to pre-historical monuments. The vernacular architecture of Malta is used as a temporary shelter, apiary, well, irrigation system and hunters’ shelters.

This important architectural heritage needs more professional work, care and activities aimed at informing people and raising pride in the local culture.20222026-07-23 15:17:15Delo ni kategorizirano31283slImetniki avtorskih pravic na prispevkih so avtorji.
