Title: Flat Drystone Architecture in the Adriatic Basin Authors: ID Juvanec, Borut (Author) Files: PDF - Presentation file, download (4,53 MB) MD5: 6F35A0747CD701C5215E5A66EBCB862E   URL - Source URL, visit https://publ.zdjp.si/index.php/ashs/article/view/416   Language: English Typology: 1.01 - Original Scientific Article Organization: IRRIS - Institute IRRIS for Research, Development and Strategies of Society, Culture and Environment Abstract: This article examines flat drystone architecture in the Adriatic basin, focusing on low constructions and spatial shelters as former elements of pastoral economy. It describes shelter construction through the false dome and corbelling, using unshaped, found, broken, or rarely dressed stone. The study analyses how stone type affects architectural form, comparing regular structures such as the Istrian kažun with underground casitas of the Trieste Karst. It identifies walls, wells, ice huts, threshing floors, and sheep-fold systems as key forms, interpreting their roles in ownership division, animal movement, grazing protection, water access, cereal threshing, ice storage, and cultural landscape formation.

Title:	Architettura piana in pietra a secco nel bacino adriatico
Abstract:	Il presente articolo esamina l’architettura piana in pietra a secco nel bacino adriatico, concentrandosi sulle costruzioni basse e sui rifugi spaziali come antichi elementi dell’economia pastorale. Descrive la costruzione dei rifugi mediante la falsa cupola e la tecnica dell’aggetto, utilizzando pietra non lavorata, raccolta sul posto, spezzata o raramente squadrata. Lo studio analizza il modo in cui il tipo di pietra influisce sulla forma architettonica, confrontando strutture regolari come il kažun istriano con le casite sotterranee del Carso triestino. Identifica muri, pozzi, ghiacciaie, aie e sistemi di ovili come forme principali, interpretandone le funzioni nella divisione della proprietà, nel movimento degli animali, nella protezione del pascolo, nell’accesso all’acqua, nella trebbiatura dei cereali, nella conservazione del ghiaccio e nella formazione del paesaggio culturale.
