Abstract
It is notable that the vernacular houses of 19th-century
Macedonia have undergone significant developmental
transformations, reflecting a complex interplay of socio�economic, cultural, and technological influences. On this issue,over the past 40 years, extensive documentations have been produced, shedding light on the influences of 19th-century developments on these houses. In this context, this research investigates the nature and extent of these transformations, focusing specifically on traditional village and town houses in Macedonia.
The research employs a qualitative approach. It utilizes
data gathering techniques such as a literature survey,
observations of transformations, photographic surveys,
documentations, and interviews. It produces a comprehensive
understanding of the changes that have occurred in Macedonian vernacular houses by triangulating data generated from these methods.
The findings indicate that the developmental changes are
closely linked to advancements in building materials and
construction techniques. The paper thus concludes that the
traditional Macedonian village and town houses are undergoing notable changes, driven by factors such as urbanization, globalization, and shifts in cultural norms. These transformations pose challenges to the preservation of cultural heritage and underscore the need for innovative approaches to architectural conservation and urban development.
