Slovakia remains a country with the majority of rural settlements even at the be-ginning of the 21st century. However, over the course of several decades the character of rural villages has changed fundamentally in terms of both material and socio-cultural situation. Space and life in lots of rural settlements require revitalizing activities that should be in synergy with sustainability criteria. In the following article we analyze the role and the possibilities of integrating traditional rural architecture into these activities.
