The paper analyzes the traditional architecture of the Upper Podrinje region, located along the right bank of the Drina River, between the boroughs of Bajina Basta, Kosjeric, and Ljubovija. The material was collected during fieldworks conducted in the late 1990s. The paper analyzes a traditional house - its spatial organization, structural characteristics and construction methods. Firstly, the houses are organized based on the number of rooms ? one room, two-room, three-room and four-room layouts. Secondly, they are classified according to the number of floors, distinguishing between single story houses, houses with basements, and multi-story houses. Thirdly, constructive solutions and construction methods are analyzed. In addition to residential architecture, the paper analyzes the economic facilities of rural households, such as warehouses, corn storage facilities, barns and watermills, through the presentation of materials, construction methods and architectural solutions.

Abstract

The paper analyzes the traditional architecture of the Upper Podrinje region, located along the right bank of the Drina River, between the boroughs of Bajina Basta, Kosjeric, and Ljubovija. The material was collected during fieldworks conducted in the late 1990s. The paper analyzes a traditional house - its spatial organization, structural characteristics and construction methods. Firstly, the houses are organized based on the number of rooms ? one room, two-room, three-room and four-room layouts. Secondly, they are classified according to the number of floors, distinguishing between single story houses, houses with basements, and multi-story houses. Thirdly, constructive solutions and construction methods are analyzed. In addition to residential architecture, the paper analyzes the economic facilities of rural households, such as warehouses, corn storage facilities, barns and watermills, through the presentation of materials, construction methods and architectural solutions.
