In this paper the authors will deal with Bievi house considering
that it is still in the original condition and so far without major
intervention in the structure. Rehabillitation project is completed
in 2009/2010 by the Faculty of civil engineering, University
Demal Bijedi in Mostar. The building abounds with various
wood structures - vertical load-bearing elements, floor, ceiling
and roof structures. The value of this building is priceless, as well
as the knowledge of traditional construction methods and
materials used for these structures, which are an inexhaustible
source of knowledge about construction skills of our ancestors.
This paper will describe modes, systems and skills of wood
construction in Mostar during the Ottoman period.
