2011 Map of Earthen Heritage in the European Union

The 2011 map of earthen heritage in the European Union is one

of the results of Terra [In]cognita Earthen Architecture in Europe
research project, developed in the framework of Culture 2007-2013
Programme of the European Union.
This project has been funded with the support of the European
Commission. This publication reflects the views only of the authors
and the Commission cannot be held responsible for any use, which
may be made of the information contained therein.
This European cartography was made according to historical and
vernacular heritage (built before 1970) that is still present in the
territory.
Four categories are identified to represent a wide variety of earthen
building cultures: Half-timber with earth, Adobe, Rammed earth
and Cob.
A large number of experts from each country have collaborated to
identify and verify the location of earthen architecture heritage.
This atlas, although innovative, is still a work in progress. Thus, the
editors expect that this initiative will be followed by new research
where information is missing or incomplete.
