Selection of materials for the construction of a house can significantly affect the
extent to which it will be characterized as a "healthy home". Having this in mind,
the paper discusses the environmental impact of applied building materials in the
case of a traditional Ohrid house which was selected as a representative of
vernacular architecture in the Balkan region. Respecting the principle of relying
on local resources which is a characteristic of vernacular architecture, materials
used for the construction of Ohrid houses are natural, non-toxic, most of them are
organic, and none of them causes environmental pollution during the
deconstruction, i.e., does not threaten its natural course.
Consideration of the impact of building materials on the environment emphasizes
the positive characteristics of selected natural materials as well as sustainable
character of building principles of Ohrid masters. The following criteria were
analysed: the amount of energy embodied in the... particular material; the use of
natural materials; locally produced building materials; use of durable materials;
level of toxicity; recyclability; waste minimization; reuse of materials and the
biodegradability of materials.
The aim of this paper is to point out that the principles of environmentally
responsible construction applied on the case of the Ohrid vernacular architecture
are timeless guidelines in construction of healthy and sustainable architecture. The
established character of being ecologically friendly and healthy which is typical
for applied materials on selected examples of vernacular architecture, offers the
opportunity for a review of sustainable strategies that are used for several
centuries, but still keep their significance in contemporary sustainable practices
and environmental design.
