Résumé (en anglais)

From the beginning of human history one of the most important goals was to safeguard human lives by using, at first, natural and then built artificial shelters. Throughout the millennia those shelters have been erected using natural and artificial building materials. Methods and procedures have been permanently improved. Such structures, of various kinds, have been tested constantly by man-made or natural disasters. Only the best building examples survive the test of time and disasters. Know-how regarding these examples has been transferred from the past until today, and we still have, in the Republic of Macedonia, which is a very earthquakeprone area, the production of very simple and useful structures using the very same traditional natural and artificial local materials applying ancient methods to build a home/shelter/space for living and for the production of various goods. This is in effect a living tradition that has the intention of continuing.
