ABSTRACT

The article presents a discussion on the experimenting with material leading to practical solutions in building structure in the context of the tradition of the place. It sketches out the practical aspects of creation of space while working with different local materials during the intensive workshops within the Structures in Building Culture IP programme. This kind of unique possibility to practice raw materials gives also the opportunity to discover and understand the building heritage and its importance for the identity of the place. The article is based on examples of projects and experiments done on the building site. It aims to understand how to design in experimental way with consciousness of the local building culture and local materials, strengths the potential of future project and how it plays a crucial role in protecting the landscape. Finally it is important to note that building culture is written in to the landscape.
