| Summary: | This paper considers the possibility of implementing the customary rules of
construction and organization of the Rajac wine cellars, as well as whether
and to what extent they have been implemented so far. Wine cellars of the
village of Rajac are a unique example of ethno-architecture in the Republic
of Serbia and its surrounding. They are under the protection regime as a rare
spatial cultural-historical entity, i.e. cultural property of exceptional
importance to Serbia. The paper analyzes various elements of spatial
development and structure, as well as specific characteristics of
construction carried out by migrant workers. Considering that customary rules
of construction are found in some other complexes of folk architecture in the
immediate and broader surrounding of the Republic of Serbia (Korčula,
Dubrovnik and Ilok in the Republic of Croatia), it has been indicated, based
on comparative analysis, that it is possible that the same rules as those
implemented during the foundation and development of the Rajac wine cellars
have also been implemented later during their renovation by introducing new
architectural principles through characteristic way of construction of
Macedonian craftsmen-builders - migrant workers. |
