【欧洲·塞浦路斯】干石墙艺术，知识和技术 Art of dry stone walling, knowledge and techniques（2018年）

干石墙的艺术涉及到通过将石头相互堆叠在一起而不使用任何其他材料（有时干燥的土壤除外）来制作石头建筑的相关技术。干石结构遍布大多数农村地区——主要是在陡峭的地形上——居住空间内外，但在城市地区并不陌生。通过仔细选择和放置石头，确保了结构的稳定性，干燥的石头结构塑造了众多多样的景观，形成了各种居住、农业和畜牧业模式。这些建筑证明了从史前到今天，人们通过优化当地自然和人力资源来组织生活和工作空间的方法和实践。它们在防止山体滑坡、洪水和雪崩、防治土地侵蚀和荒漠化、增强生物多样性和为农业创造适当的小气候条件方面发挥着至关重要的作用。承载者和从业者包括该元素根深蒂固的农村社区，以及建筑行业的专业人士。干石结构总是与环境完美协调，这种技术体现了人与自然的和谐关系。这种做法主要是通过适应各地特殊情况的实际应用而流传下来的。

The art of dry stone walling concerns the knowhow related to making stone constructions by stacking stones upon each other, without using any other materials except sometimes dry soil. Dry stone structures are spread across most rural areas – mainly in steep terrains – both inside and outside inhabited spaces, though they are not unknown in urban areas. The stability of the structures is ensured through the careful selection and placement of the stones, and dry-stone structures have shaped numerous, diverse landscapes, forming various modes of dwelling, farming and husbandry. Such structures testify to the methods and practices used by people from prehistory to today to organize their living and working space by optimizing local natural and human resources. They play a vital role in preventing landslides, floods and avalanches, and in combating erosion and desertification of the land, enhancing biodiversity and creating adequate microclimatic conditions for agriculture. The bearers and practitioners include the rural communities where the element is deeply rooted, as well as professionals in the construction business. Dry stone structures are always made in perfect harmony with the environment and the technique exemplifies a harmonious relationship between human beings and nature. The practice is passed down primarily through practical application adapted to the particular conditions of each place.
