About the project
How to save valuable cultural landscapes in national parks, historic villages, museum-zapovedniks and open-air museums from degradation and gradual disappearance?
How to protect unique areas from uncontrolled and illegal construction which destroys the integrity and character of historic villages and undermines the existing well-preserved settlement structures?
How to ensure sustainable development of historically valuable villages and landscapes with the use of modern technologies in construction and architecture?
To address these and other issues Machaon International from Slovakia and the Foundation of maintenance of wooden architecture monuments from Russia joined forces and initiated an international co-operation project: ‘Wooden architecture in cultural landscape: new challenges in modern world’. The Project is being implemented in the pilot sites with the support of the European Union within the programme "Investing in people".
