abstract = "The purpose of this study is to reevaluate general theoretical
and practical interpretation of vernacular architecture in Serbia
in the 19th and the first half of 20th century. This incorporates
the understanding of vernacular architecture in a wider context,
through interpretations of various authors, who do not only
observe its design value, but also the cultural and spiritual values.
Since vernacular architecture cannot be recognized as a singular
discipline, but within the area of many disciplines, the wider
interpretation is mandatory. Although celebrated and recognized
as archetypal, vernacular architecture in the studied period
is fading away and gradually disappears, faced with modern
building techniques and architectural styles, brought by formally
educated builders. The goal of this study is to examine the
processes within which mentioned transformation is occurring
and, accordingly, to understand the vernacular architecture which
developed in practice.
Since vernacular architecture in Serbian historiography has up
to now only been examined in the context of traditional rural
architecture, or of, so called national style, the main premise of
the study is to offer another approach to this kind of creation, so as
to examine and critically view the recent dominant understanding
of application of vernacular principles and elements in the
architecture of the mentioned period.",
