Social aspects in the folks architecture of Prizren
Session
Architecture and Spatial Planning
Description
In this paper, through the values of the folkloric architecture of Prizren, we will focus on some social aspects, which were actually the main reasons that influenced the architectural heritage. To address the social functions of the folk architecture of Prizren, it means to address the anthropological mindset through the life that developed within those walls. Folk architecture has been the presenter of life in certain environments, namely it has been a communicative language equivalent to today's social networks. Baxha, the gazebo of the house, ceilings, windows and doors with wooden decorations with the symbol of the eagle, sun, snake, talisman, etc., have symbolized social categories and the wishes of the family members.
Keywords:
folkloric architecture, social categories, symbols, baja, etc.

Social aspects in the folks architecture of Prizren
UBT Kampus, Lipjan
In this paper, through the values of the folkloric architecture of Prizren, we will focus on some social aspects, which were actually the main reasons that influenced the architectural heritage. To address the social functions of the folk architecture of Prizren, it means to address the anthropological mindset through the life that developed within those walls. Folk architecture has been the presenter of life in certain environments, namely it has been a communicative language equivalent to today's social networks. Baxha, the gazebo of the house, ceilings, windows and doors with wooden decorations with the symbol of the eagle, sun, snake, talisman, etc., have symbolized social categories and the wishes of the family members.
