Excursion and mini-conference with the local specialists
(folk architecture, folk art, folk music).
GOALS of the conference are
– to exchange information in an international circle,
– to share ideas how to preserve the sites of folk / vernacular architecture,
– to discuss how the related knowledge may help modern architecture in the 21st century.
We also hope to provide a regular (bi-annual?) forum in the future with the above goals.
