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. Such objects are mostly hidden in nature but – sadly – also out of the mind of local people. 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 kategorizirano31283UDK: 009, 72.031.4(458.2)ISSN pri članku: 1408-5348DOI: 10.19233/ASHS.2022.16COBISS_ID: 138040579slImetniki avtorskih pravic na prispevkih so avtorji.
