Kozolec in the landscape
Tu pride flash
Prof Borut Juvanec, Department of Vernacular Architecture at Ljubljana University defines this Slovenian construction: The kozolec (hayrack) is a free standing, permanent, mainly wooden, vertical, open but roofed device for drying and storing the goods: hay and grain. It is the only ethnical architecture I know: it exists exclusively in ethnical territory of Slovenian nation.
Kozolec does not appear only in those Karstic regions of Slovenia,where the fierce wind burja makes this type of construction unpracticable.
The kozolec for the most part defines as an icon the largely agricultural Slovenian landscape and is still in use today, particularly the toplar barnlike type, which provides cover for farm machinery and vehcles.
