| Title : | ANTI-EVOLUTION OF THE PHENOMENON OF CONSTRUCTION-ITS RELATION TO THE ENVIRONMENT |
| Abstract : | The phenomenon of construction, as an act of creation of a man-builder in the landscapes, is being discussed in this paper. Vernacular architecture is the creation of the epochal relation of man to the environment. The coexistence of man and nature has been transformed into architecture that still goes beyond the reach of contemporary construction. Evolutionary processes have been called into question, which justifies the concern of the international community regarding the protection of the so-called cultural landscapes, places of conflict between nature and man. What is the perspective of these creations and are the builders of today familiar with the postulates and laws of creating the dwelling architecture of their predecessors? The paper elaborates general principles of protection and emphasizes the importance of preserving the rarity of the traditional opus of construction related to the local examples that exist on the territory of Montenegro, which are the works of an unknown builder and which are currently under-researched and under-valorised. The current knowledge base on "ambient nuclei” (Perovic, 2005) presented through the cases of villages in Montenegro does not grasp the complete essence of the architectural thought. Evolutionary processes of the permeation of natural processes with modus of construction and the current stagnation of processes demonstrated on the examples of villages Godinje and Gornja Brca, located on slopes not far from the water, have been considered in this paper. Man has affected the nature by the phenomenon of construction, creating the unique cultural landscapes. Man has used nature as a resource. The evolution of man in the natural environment implied the evolution of nature itself, natural processes flowed simultaneously. Balance is achieved through synergy. However, there was a point in time when nature continued its life without man, because natural forces have overpowered the human creation |
