The Romanian Philately, since its inception, has made known to the world the elements of traditional (vernacular) architecture, which we place as the foundation of the ecological house concept. Through this study, as a tradition of the philatelic studies that we develop now, we want to showcase a part of the philatelic issues that emphasize traditional architecture, from its inception to the present - including farmhouses with associated annexes, mills, gates, and other elements that we can easily record into the category of imobil heritage. Philatelic studied does not accentuate so much the art of wood processing, as the life of the Romanian people, who helped mobilize all creative energies into what today we consider to be cultural heritage from a philatelic perspective. Keywords: philatelic issues; wood constructions; imobil heritage; traditional architecture. INTRODUCTION About wood processing and wooden houses, it's been discussed for a long time. Lately, even in Romania, the interest in this kind of houses has begun to take on proportions [1, 2]. Gifted with curiosity, but especially by reorienting to a new lifestyle, perhaps more comfortable, people are looking to find out more about traditional and healthy architecture [3], as part of the modern cultural heritage. Cultural heritage is a testimony and expression of the values, beliefs, knowledge and traditions that have resulted over time from the interaction of human factors with those of nature. It is in a continuous evolution and contributes fundamentally to the development of the urban and urban communities, as well as to the improvement of the quality of collective life, from philosophy to environmental engineering, and from science to sustainable development [4]. In fact, cultural heritage delights and inspires generations on their journey to knowledge, so it is a treasure that must be protected. As a domain, cultural heritage is an essential resource for Romania's identity and the development of a society of peace and stability, based on respect for human rights, democracy and the rule of law. Active participation and modern management of this strategic resource adds to the community plus economic, social and cultural value. As part of human activity, cultural heritage produces tangible representations of the value systems, beliefs, traditions and lifestyles, part of them being also found as philatelic valences of communities history [5, 6]. In the present society, we can say that the immovable property is, by far, the most valuable component of the cultural heritage, both in terms of direct material value and the possibilities of inserting extra-cultural components. It should be noted that the cultural heritage is a phrase that designates what, in generic terms, is called "historical monuments", a category that includes not only monuments, but also historic sites, memorial structures and other significant elements.
