This study aims to investigate the technological and structural aspects of Lithuanian traditional sacral wooden construction, an important corpus of heritage and landscape in Europe: we are working on the systematization of building types and we have composed an atlas of constructive techniques, useful to the knowledge and the future preservation of timber structures; we are working also to prepare schedules of the main technological solutions and to enforce the analysis of wooden buildings, also related to the damage mechanisms and detected failures.

La Lituania attualmente può annoverare un patrimonio di circa 600 edifici sacri in legno ancora esistenti, sui quali, ad oggi, non sono stati condotti studi approfonditi in merito agli aspetti storico/architettonici e tecnico/costruttivi. Questa tipologia di edifici costituisce un patrimonio della cultura architettonica locale da esplorare e conoscere, per garantirne la corretta conservazione e valorizzazione. La maggior parte di questi edifici di culto in legno versa in condizione di degrado poiché le comunità non sempre possiedono la dovuta attenzione e le competenze tecniche capaci per salvaguardare tale patrimonio. Le cause più frequenti di danno derivano da una inadeguata manutenzione, da degradi del legno (ascrivibili per lo più ad infestazioni di funghi e insetti) o da dissesti e stati deformativi delle strutture dovuti ad errori tecnologici o all‘errato dimensionamento delle sezioni costitutive. La ricerca è volta alla conoscenza di questo patrimonio edilizio e della sua tradizione costruttiva, con la consapevolezza di quanto, talvolta, la produzione industriale possa - in passato, così come oggi - gradualmente far estinguere la ricchezza della tradizione costruttiva artigianale (associata alla trasmissione dei suoi saperi alle generazioni successive); questi presupposti richiedono una riflessione approfondita sull’importanza del riconoscimento dei valori materiali e immateriali che tali strutture lignee possiedono e custodiscono e sulla opportunità di considerare ciò che ancora rimane come una risorsa da valorizzare e preservare alla posterità.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the technological and structural aspects of Lithuanian traditional sacral wooden construction, an important corpus of heritage and landscape in Europe: we are working on the systematization of building types and we have composed an atlas of constructive techniques, useful to the knowledge and the future preservation of timber structures; we are working also to prepare schedules of the main technological solutions and to enforce the analysis of wooden buildings, also related to the damage mechanisms and detected failures. The research proceeds, according to the direct knowledge of the building, to define the history of construction techniques, a geometric and constructive survey, the analysis of the main failures and degradations. The atlas requires the survey of technological and structural decks and the identification of the major technological units, the preparation of wooden species tables, the individuation of the coeval structural units and also of any decks introduced in subsequent periods, which works for the safety or consolidation of the building. This atlas is organized into a great number of tables that consists of the type of wooden species, kinds of craftsmanship, construction systems and process, connection types, technological units, finishing and completion parts and decoration elements. We would equip the technician of useful result, in order to obtain good practice guidelines, for the safeguard of this technologies and heritage.
