Description
Summary:Rural architecture or village architecture? Since the beginning of the Middle Ages, the inhabitants of the plain of Languedoc gathered in tightly knit villages, real miniature cities. The habitat evolved in situ, making the dating of the houses difficult. The tools for dating are not numerous and are difficult to use: archives, plans (compoix, cadastral plans…) architectural decor. There are many traps. The close study of the buildings themselves is essential in order to understand changes. The village is a closed environment, encouraging the emergence of tall buildings, which are still built today. This is the multi-use house of the Middle Ages, which survives up to modern times in the same form. It is the model reinterpreted which emerged during the nineteenth century with the ‘wine revolution’ which completely modified the village framework.
