Three countries x three houses - that's nine different house stories: The photographer Rafael Sampedro, who lives in Mittelherwigsdorf, has portrayed people who live in or work in Umgebindehouses, who accommodate guests or are in the process of saving a house. He expresses the diversity of uses and the peculiarities of the construction method. But first and foremost, the relationship of the people to their houses becomes palpable. We get an impression of the power of this folk architecture: in the warm log room beats the heart of the house - in the Umgebindehouse the selle of the triangle gets space.
