ABSTRACT
Increased demand for sustainability in architecture renewed interest in traditional building methods which use locally available resources. Building with earth is one such method, present in different forms throughout the world since ancient times. Earthen architecture in Serbia mostly used adobe bricks, followed by wattle and daub technique, while rammed earth technique, widespread in arid and semi-arid climates, has been present in Vojvodina region in the Pannonian plane (Kojić 1949; Đekić 1994). However, with the establishment of brick factories in Serbia, and especially after the World War II, the practice of earthen building gave way to building with baked bricks and concrete, due to their better structural characteristics and ability to build taller structures.
