Summary/Abstract: My thesis ”The conversion of the barn in the traditional saxon household” adresses the topic of the old barns in the saxons villages and especially the way that these reappeared in the general attention as a potential for reuse. My interest in this topic was aroused by participating in the UAUIM Sibiu design workshop in November 2019 in Cincșor, Brașov, where I had the opportunity to study traditional Saxon barns and to propose the construction of ”a new barn” with the function of an event space.
