Abstract (in English)

Volume V of the series of "Monuments and Sites" combines a number of contributions which members of the International Scientific Committee on Vernacular Architecture (CIAV) pre¬pared for the conference in Morelia on the occasion of the 12th General Assembly of ICOMOS. At the same time this publica¬tion complies with a resolution made at the annual CIAV meet¬ing in August 1998 in Santo Domingo: When the Charter on the Built Vernacular Heritage was completed after years of preparation, it was decided that this Charter, finally adopted in 1999 during the General Assembly in Guadalajara/Mexico, should be illustrated by a collection of examples from all over the world. In this present volume mostly examples of rural houses and farm buildings are introduced, Thus with the topic of the „traditional house" a section of the vernacular has been chosen which was also the focus of the International Day for Monuments and Sites in 2001, namely the architecture of the villages in danger of dis¬appearing worldwide. It is to be hoped that this publication will be able to help save the endangered values of vernacular architecture, which according to the latest Heritage at Risk Report 2001/2002 is under particular pressure. As part of our cultural heritage vernacular architecture plays a role which should not be underestimated, and particularly in conjunction with efforts to protect entire cultural landscapes this is becoming increasingly important. At the same time we need to be aware that the wide range of vernacular architecture has only been documented in a few countries, thus remaining without any protection against decay and a devastating urge for renewal in most regions of the world. Nearly everywhere regional building materials and traditional skills are being lost. Besides, the topic of vernacular architecture, comprising not only traditional settlements such as the various "house landscapes", has not yet been exhaustively researched. It can even include present-day makeshift houses in the gigantic outskirts of some big cities. Vernacular architecture could also play a significant role in the future for sustainable development due to the reuse of materials and the ever-repetitive processes of repair. (...) We hope this publication will help point out that vernacular architecture, often underestimated, is in fact a major part of the cultural heritage of mankind.
