Arhitectura vernaculară
Vernacular Architecture

Summary/Abstract: The idea of this CSAV Journal edition appeared during the international workshop of VVITA Erasmus + 2018, while visiting an old fishermen village from the Lofoten Peninsula, Norway. (see page 305). It is a 19th century vernacular heritage site, still inhabited, where one can observe an architectural typology represented by wooden housing and fishermen or boat workshops, buildings partially arranged upon the cliffy seashore, on wooden piers. A special place among these dwellings is the fish oil press, with all the metal and wood mechanisms still working. One can observe not only a technology spread all over the territory of Europe and beyond, but also the way in which the technical heritage remains a ”mental landmark” for many neighbouring communities, a place for gathering and an ecological system, adapted also to the new climate challenges.
