Anotations

Scope note:

General term for humbler built works such as dwellings, places of worship, barns, and other everyday structures that are used by ordinary inhabitants of smaller settlements, designed and built without the assistance of formally schooled and professionally trained architects. Folk architecture is generally utilitarian and conservative, reflecting the specific needs, unique solutions, and customs of the local community.
