Clay houses together with log, half-timbered and stone houses constitute basic forms of traditional dwellings in Europe. Clay is used as supplementary material in many areas, but it became dominant primarily in central and lower Danube regions (including the Morava and Tisa river basins) and the Black Sea areas of Moldova and Ukraine. Extensive loess deposits are characteristic for these lowlands. All types of clay constructions and also timber-frame construction filled with different materials such as wattle, reed and daub can be found in the area. the timber-frame construction has been known since prehistoric times, but scholars disagree about the age of the clay building technologies (rammed, cob and adobe constructions). Some relation may be sought for in the antique building tradition; however, clay building spread only in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Traditional architecture is one of the most important segments in the preservation and development of cultural identity. The Lake Skadar region abounds in examples of vernacular building activity that provide the clearest evidence of the creation of settlements and houses as a result of adaptation to natural environment. The study of vernacular architecture on the shores of Lake Skadar is related to the identification and potential evaluation of its local traditional features, as ecological building forms which express the principle of sustainability. Within the framework of research on vernacular architecture of this area, analysis is undertaken with the aim of defining guidelines for revitalizing traditional settlements in this region. In this respect the emphasis of this work is on recognizing the potential and possible directions in revitalization of cultural heritage of traditional settlements in keeping with the principles of sustainable development.

Proces degradacji przestrzennej małych miast i wsi stanowi złożony problem, który został w sposób szkicowy omówiony w pracy. Receptą na uporządkowanie przestrzeni jest w opinii autora m.in. pielęgnowanie wiedzy o tożsamości kulturowej regionu poprzez nawiązywanie w architekturze do lokalnej tradycji. W artykule zaprezentowane zostały nieliczne udane realizacje i modernizacje budynków, których architektura nawiązuje do kultury i tradycji Wielkopolski.

This article is the result and partial summary of the author’s research on the spatial degradation of Poznań metropolitan area – a complex problem, which is briefly discussed in this work. The aim of the article is to present the most successful examples of contemporary buildings in the analysed area that are in contrast to the majority of buildings, which do not respect the cultural legacy and building tradition of the region. It shows that it is possible to successfully combine modern design with traditional forms and that such an approach always gives benefits to the surrounding area and its spatial order. The scarcity of such buildings proves that the level of architectural awareness of society regarding local building traditions and cultural heritage of Wielkopolska is low. It also results in progressing spatial degradation of suburban areas. This elaboration shows that the recipe for improvement of spatial order in Poznań agglomeration is to propagate the knowledge of cultural identity of this region and promote correspondence of contemporary architecture to the local building traditions.
