摘要：The book comes with photographs,designs,sketches,computer simulations, and contains a wide range of information and interpretation. It is the fruit of discovery,research and scientific treatment embracing primarily the scientific research at the Faculty of Architecture. The research paper on the technique of drystone masonry is the fruit of twenty years of scientific work and research from Ireland to Yemen,Portugal to Greece,and includes constructions from Great Britain,France,Germany, Ireland,Switzerland,Italy,Tunisia,Slovenia,Croatia,Palestine and Malta. It encompasses theoretical basics,pursues the evolution of forms,offers evidence of relationships and applied proportions,and shows and compares forms resulting from the simplest among architectures,the vernacular one. Then it places these structures in space and time because,after all,the oldest come from the 4th millenium B.C and the newest are being built right now. The constructional principle is corbelling;in two dimensions it is "overhanging",the higher layer overhanging the lower one;in three dimensions,it results in a false cupola. The construction is a composition of two layers: the first is constructional;the second one is the frame,and acts as a counterweight and drainage. In between,there may be filler,depending on the climatic environment. There are various shapes: from almost a perfect sphere (crot,Switzerland) to versions with revetments resembling steps (the best known are in the Balearics, France,Puglia.) and pronounced vaulted roofs;the shape of the roof is defined by filler i.e. by gravelling (bombo,Spain);the ground plans are circular,square or oblong,and the exterior shape may equal the interior,but not necessarily. What is most important is the construction principle: all shelters are built by means of half the square root of three: the simple builder constructed it with the help of an equilateral triangle or with three equally long sticks. Higher structures are divided into two storeys;there are no lower ones - they have all collapsed.
