Dokumentace reliktů venkovské architektury s důrazem na doposud nezmapované roubené stavby v prostoru ostravsko-karvinského uhelného revíru
Documenting Relicts of Folk Architecture with Focus on Previously Undescribed Log Houses in the Ostrava-Karviná

Summary/Abstract: This paper introduces a newly begun research project conducted by the Silesian Regional Museum (Slezské zemské muzeum) in Opava which aims to thoroughly document folk architecture in the regions affected by coal-mining and industrial activities, i.e. the region around the cities of Karviná and Ostrava in Czech Silesia. Field research and the concurrent archival research will focus on previously undescribed log houses, some of which are currently under threat. The methodology used in this project and described in this paper is based on previous research conducted in Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia, with special focus on interdisciplinary cooperation.
