Researching Ranges for Reconstruction of a Traditional Timber House according to Principles of Sustainable Architecture

Abstract

Main subject of the work is a case study of sustainable renovation of the traditional Balkan log-cabin, for everyday use. There are certain building principles of the past, if not all, that make traditional timber houses carry the label of sustainability, of their own time. As we study this case and progress across the era of sustainability today, we recognize how sustainable methods could be found in the essence of our tradition.
