Abstract:

Anatolian wooden architectural heritage may have relations and similarities considering construction techniques with Scandinavian wooden buildings. The “log houses” of Anatolia are mostly situated on the hillsides along the Black Sea region their usage, their plan types and their roof shapes and details quite same. For example our larder type storage buildings which are granaries that called ‘serender and ambar’ are very similar or so close to each other with “Sami Storehouse” of Sweeden or “loft” of Norway (Karpuz, 1999). Also it is very interesting to discover the similarities between the solid log houses which are built in Turkey and in one of the Nordic Countries. So we have to protect this highly valuable common heritage and craftsman skills for transferring this delicate culture to our next generations.
