ABSTRACT

The field of architecture is closely connected with the invention of new shapes which objectify new interrelations. These relations exist either between materials and building blocks or between the users of shapes. Inventing shapes is directly linked to the totality of actions. The perfection of something stems from a good knowledge of problems and a clear definition of a problem. A form in vernacular architecture evolves from materiality of the needs of users of erecting building, available resources at site or close to the site of a building and knowledge of the builder. This is economics of architecture. The theme of economics from the viewpoint of the invention of spatial forms originates in vernacular architecture, which is often associated with the term cultural heritage (Zupančič. 2011: 15).
