Abstract
The traditional bondruck system for constructing single-family homes, which
is one of the most important segments of Macedonian material culture and
heritage, can create a path for developing and improving contemporary design
and construction solutions for sustainable architecture in Macedonia. The
classic variant of traditional bondruck has not been of a high enough
standard over a long period of use, which was also the case even at the time
when it was a popular building method. Some disadvantages of its classic
variants such as: the lack of quality materials for external and internal
processing, inconsistent stability due to technological defects in the wood,
a low standard and level of physical performance, functional deficiencies
etc., can be overcome with modern technological solutions, the use of new
building materials, and the possibility of systematic planning in a market
economy, combined with the realization that a higher standard of housing is
needed today. Based on an analysis of traditional Macedonian bondruck, it is
possible to make a contemporary version of this system with improved quality
of performance, both of individual elements and of the whole system. This is
demonstrated by the proposed solution of a reference house in the village of
Bitushe, built with the traditional bondruck system.
