  • Identity as element of culture and tradition in the development of housing in Slovenia
    Kalčič, Igor
    Identity in architecture has many interesting meanings, among them two completely opposite. One means the broadest, general or shared, unifying character, that is sameness, universality, generality ... ...The other means the narrow, individual, distinguishing character, which is individuality, uniqueness, different from all the others. Identity as element of culture and tradition can help us to investigate, understand and study the development of housing in Slovenia. Analyzing the past can help us to create future development, future housing economics, housing production, the use of land, housing as a new way of living...housing for New Millennium. Analysis of the past experiences should contain traditional, vernacular housing, architecture without architects and modern, international housing as well. Both were influenced by outside principles, so in Slovenia as in other small countries. Traditional, vernacular architecture and author's, modern housing architecture had always, more or less, characteristics of home country, a symbolic charge, a load of national identity. By means of mimesis, a creative way of imitation, these influences flowed into slovene environmental and changed in such a way that became part of slovene national Identity. To study Identity as an element of culture and tradition can be one of many ways to find principles for future development of housing, housing for New Millennium.To find such principles and rules to create friendly and human places, to find new, better housing, completely different from to-day's stereotypes.
