A place-based approach highlights the importance of place attachment and its implications: place dependence, place identity and rootedness. A comparison between space-place and landscape-setting proceeds, leading to a reflexion on how an architectural landscape is a place. A discussion on factors to take into account when assessing or preserving architectural landscapes is presented, in order to protect this psychological dimension of place for the well-being of inhabitants emotionally invested in them. As a conclusion, this article advocates for the necessity of understanding the psychological dimension of an architectural landscape as a place, and not only a physical tangible landscape.

Trotz einer neuen Stadtentwicklungsstrategie sank die EinwohnerInnenanzahl im Stadtzentrum. 1 Viele leerstehende Häuser im Zentrum verfallen und das Wachstum am Stadtrand fördert die Zersiedelung. Neue Häuser am Stadtrand zu bauen scheint einfacher und billiger, als alte Wohnungen zu sanieren. Leerstand und Bevölkerungsmangel sind die Folgen dieser Entwicklung -die Stadt wird zur Geisterstadt und das Zentrum verliert an dynamischer Kraft.

Aerial maize drying sheds played an important role in human development and settlements and still play a vital role in some regions’ identity after remarkable advances in agriculture. These constructions share not only construction, material and form features, but also the areas where they can be found have common climatic and geographic conditions despite the physical distance.
This review article intends to give a view of this vernacular type of construction. Materials and construction systems used will also be included and their particular evolution in each studied region. Not only will an architectural point of view be given, but also an ethnologic and historic perspective. It presents the biggest inflection point of these timeless objects, the introduction of maize [zea mays] in Europe and the adaptations required for a maximum profit as well as problems derived from that.

Data collection from surveys conducted in Slovenia and Spain in 2016 are presented, to extract conclusions on current social and spatial perception of vernacular drying sheds for natives, tourists, students of architecture and professionals of architecture. Results improve understanding architectural landscape and cultural tourism and their symbiotic relation. social perception | vernacular architecture | hórreo | panera | dvojni kozolec | koruznjak A comparative study of preservation criteria of vernacular elevated drying sheds in Spain and Slovenia
