摘要：Various cultures have determined the architectural and spatial image of a landscape, which was an expression of individual and social awareness and activity. It was all about adapting to the landscape,climatic conditions,vegetation,the spiritual, aesthetic and religious components of life;and an aggregate of all this then determined the whole image of a village,a town,and individual buildings. A prominent case is the stone vernacular architecture of Cyprus and Herzegovina. Despite different locations,cultural characteristics and even religious traditions, some features of the residential space appear similar in both places. These include the use of local materials,stone and timber,as well as the emergence of the atrium, iliako in Cyprus and avlija in Herzegovina,as a key organisational element of the ground plans of houses. In both cases,the atrium is a communicating room between the residential and working area on one side and the outer world on the other. The functionality of inner spaces derives from flexibility,as they are employed with slight changes for different purposes during the course of the day through the use of mobile furniture. A comparison of two seemingly different examples enables us to understand the profound significance of traditional cultural links and continuity in today's world of "globalised" architectural imag.
