THE INTERTWINING OF LANDSCAPE AND NATIVE ARCHITECTURE OF THE NORTHERN KVARNER ISLANDS

Summary/Abstract: The subject of the doctoral dissertation (in progress) is the intertwining of landscape and architectural elements in the indigenous landscapes of the northern Kvarner islands. The questions I try to answer in this research deal with the protection, preservation and renovation of the landscape"s architectural morphemes, which are disappearing at a rapid pace. The reason for this lies mainly in the modified way of life and work of the local population, mass tourism and deteriorating knowledge about the indigenous elements that co-create the local character of the region. Changing the landscape image is a long-term process that is affected by a number of small, spontaneous decisions taken by individuals, and major planning decisions taken by various experts who still do not work in an interdisciplinary mode. My goal - the participation of all parties involved - is briefly presented in this article. The purpose of the dissertation is to make a basic inventory and analysis of this region and a review of topics that have so far been researched there. Upon completion of the dissertation, an interdisciplinary review of information could be made available to the general public. This could bring the various disciplines and users of the space closer together in more comprehensive planning of renovations and creative protection of the landscape and architectural heritage in the region.
