Tanulmányok - SIMÁNYI FRIGYES: Fertőszéplak faluképi rekonstrukciós terve

Vargha and Béla Sisa. The following data give an indication of the extent of the work : it consists of three volumes with 93 pages of description, 37 plans and 43 photographs. There are 51 descriptions of peasant dwelling houses, precise scale drawings of the street facades, fences and gateways of 47 dwelling houses and 8 groundplans, scale drawings of courtyard facades and sites. The study also deals with the history and structure of the village which is particularly important since Fertőszéplak is one of our very few communities that have preserved their mediaeval structure right up to the present (Figures 2, 3). It also describes a number of types of buildings, such as the type with rammed earth walls and thatched roof dating back approx. 200 years and of which only a few examples can be found in the village and a more recent type that makes up the bulk of the rows of houses deserving protection. These were built in the sixties and seventies of the last century of brick with tiled roofs and are a type widely found in the villages around the Fertő Lake. The complex study concluded that despite the rapid transformation of the appearance of the village of Fertőszéplak, a surprisingly rich and large quantity of settlement history, historic building and ethnographic material could still be found there in 1972. The documentation made proposals for the use of this material (Figures 15-17).
