Prezentácia stavebnej pamiatky ako spôsob dokumentácie tradičného remesla v lokálnom spoločenstve

The article focuses on the process of documenting handicrafts in the local communities of rural areas through the use of buildings formerly housing a blueprint workshop in the village of Hranovnica. the first section focuses on the specific attributes of handicraft buildings and compares individual buildings within an urban context (where crafts represented a key means of providing a livelihood) with those in rural areas (where, in addition to their craft, local handicraftsmen were also concerned with their primary activity, i.e. farming). The aforementioned blueprint workshop in Hranovnica is a good example of the architectural aspects of these buildings, which simultaneously document farming and handicrafts, and as we show, also reveal renovations due to economic and socio-cultural development. The article further contains arguments with regard to the possible use of such buildings as so-called ‘technical landmarks’ to document the history and development of local handicrafts from the point of view of present-day applied ethnology (especially ethnographic museology).
