The countryside and rural areas also need appropriate planning and the wellconceived harmonisation of various needs and environmental conditions. I cannot imagine any village or hamlet in Slovenia without a valid spatial plan. In this regard, Šetarova is precisely that - an abandoned village in Slovenske gorice, which aptly, purposefully or inadvertently, depending on one’s vantage point, dodged contemporary spatial planning, investment in public infrastructure and the regulation of public space.

Using the method of order and proportions may lead to better results in practise (architecture, construction and design).

The builder used constructing material due to rational reasons: source at hand with short delivery pathways; nature of material is verified from forefathers; handling with material is imparted through childhood. The last one has the most significant role in vernacular architecture. Why? In childhood way of thinking and solving problems are raised. Sincere constructional solutions in architecture are result of logic and local knowledge. Local knowledge may be concerned as variable resulting variances of solutions of the same problem - clay ceiling in Egypt and Yemen. The following paper shows how solutions from nowadays have origin in “past” architecture. Smart materials using low tech, with no artificial energy have much in common with smart materials “invented” in modern age. Clay and pine tree branch has much in common with reinforced concrete; soft soil and straw has much in common with fibreglass flooring; thin gypsum layers covering rammed earth may extent life span of construction as thin façade coating protect insulation from decay.
