A thematic examination has been made of constructive and aesthetic values in traditional
Macedonian architecture in the city of Veles, in order to endorse the architectural categories
developed in all national constructive creations on Macedonian ground. Although the examination
was focused on one city of Macedonia, we separated the main features of national architecture which
are distinctive for this surrounding. The values that differentiate this region from the others were
analyzed in detail..
This paper comprises a few methods of examination. These methods helped us to formulate all the
parameters used by the national builders. The presented examination leads to the conclusion that
national architecture abounds with aesthetic values. The national builder, with his extraordinary
building skills, succeeded in presenting them in their true light. Our obligation today is to validate and
preserve it in its originality.
