Rammed Earthen Farm Buildings in Tworkowice, Ciechanowiec Municipality, N-E Poland

Rammed Earthen Farm Buildings in Tworkowice, Ciechanowiec Municipality, N-E Poland AbstractIn June 2009 and October 2021 field surveys were performed in Ciechanowiec municipality, Wysokie Mazowieckie County, in south-western part of the Podlaskie region, N-E Poland, to look for semi-vernacular buildings made with raw materials or alternative constructions, such as rammed earth, wattle and daub, and cordwood masonry. In particular, a group of rammed earth barns was found and examined in a small village of Tworkowice. All those buildings were built in the 1950s, but their construction had been known in that region before that time. The intention behind this work has been to contribute to recognizing the distribution of hitherto underresearched vernacular or semi-vernacular earthen architecture in N-E Poland, as most researchers of vernacular and semi-vernacular architecture of the Podlaskie region have focused onto timber architecture rather than earthen constructions. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Architecturae et Artibus de Gruyter

Abstract

AbstractIn June 2009 and October 2021 field surveys were performed in Ciechanowiec municipality, Wysokie Mazowieckie County, in south-western part of the Podlaskie region, N-E Poland, to look for semi-vernacular buildings made with raw materials or alternative constructions, such as rammed earth, wattle and daub, and cordwood masonry. In particular, a group of rammed earth barns was found and examined in a small village of Tworkowice. All those buildings were built in the 1950s, but their construction had been known in that region before that time. The intention behind this work has been to contribute to recognizing the distribution of hitherto underresearched vernacular or semi-vernacular earthen architecture in N-E Poland, as most researchers of vernacular and semi-vernacular architecture of the Podlaskie region have focused onto timber architecture rather than earthen constructions.
