Description

The changes made in family structure that reflects to the way how we live, undoubtedly changes the physical surround too, that makes dwellings vulnerable either for abandonee or for destruction in order to build a new or release the space. This occurrence mostly affects in rural zones, whereas the main focus unfortunately now days has not the required attention.

The focus of the study is mainly the rural dwelling stone structure so called “Kulla” that is settled in the west part of the Kosovo (that usually lie in the western part of Kosovo), respectively in the area of the Dukagjin plane. By computing the information about the stone structured dwellings, study aims to provide knowledge, whereas the form, plan and method of construction, simply follows a tradition for the time and place of their conceptions within the cause-consequence aspect. In this regard the social aspect of determining the form and the structure is prioritized. Therefore, regarding to the paper is chosen as a case study Kulla (Isniq village / Municipality of Deçan) in the Dukagjini region, that relates to the area that has lifelong continuity by passing different civilization and administration, but always preserving the built identity of that are.

The research is based on the analytical method, which helps in the final results.

In addition to the many advantages, here, the analysis is based mainly on two main aspects:

1. - The aspect of construction from architectural point of view.

2. - Aspect of the social impact in formation of the dwelling.

The social effects on the architecture form; in the case of rural dwelling stone structure so called “Kulla”

Pristina, Kosovo

The changes made in family structure that reflects to the way how we live, undoubtedly changes the physical surround too, that makes dwellings vulnerable either for abandonee or for destruction in order to build a new or release the space. This occurrence mostly affects in rural zones, whereas the main focus unfortunately now days has not the required attention.

The focus of the study is mainly the rural dwelling stone structure so called “Kulla” that is settled in the west part of the Kosovo (that usually lie in the western part of Kosovo), respectively in the area of the Dukagjin plane. By computing the information about the stone structured dwellings, study aims to provide knowledge, whereas the form, plan and method of construction, simply follows a tradition for the time and place of their conceptions within the cause-consequence aspect. In this regard the social aspect of determining the form and the structure is prioritized. Therefore, regarding to the paper is chosen as a case study Kulla (Isniq village / Municipality of Deçan) in the Dukagjini region, that relates to the area that has lifelong continuity by passing different civilization and administration, but always preserving the built identity of that are.

The research is based on the analytical method, which helps in the final results.

In addition to the many advantages, here, the analysis is based mainly on two main aspects:
