Název v původním jazyce

The formation of the three-compartment rural house in medieval Central Europe as a cultural synthesis of different building traditions

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Instead of diff usion or autochthonous hypothesis, it is possible to introduce a new explanation regarding the three-compartment house formation. Comparing the Early Medieval building tradition and a new built form, we fi nd identical and diff erent attributes in both parts of Central Europe. The concept of housing both the dwelling and economic zones under the same roof represents a continuity in western Central Europe but a radical discontinuity in eastern Central Europe and vice versa; the model of a living room as a comparatively small, well-heated and insulated wooden ‘box’ is a continuity in building culture in the east but a sharp discontinuity in the west. Separation or contact between people and livestock in the house expressed by two sub-types of the three-compartment house, the byre-house and the granary/storagehouse, can be understood as a continuation of the two diff erent archaic perceptions of dwelling within a new built form. Medieval Central Europe, with a long tradition of close contacts between the Germanic and Slavic world, might be seen as an area of mutual cultural infl uence. The formation of the three-compartment house may have represented one of the results of this cultural exchange and reciprocal borrowings. It may be interpreted as a synthesis of diff erent traditions that took shape in the transformation of the built environment.
