Topic: Folk architecture Posted: 05-Dec-2006 at 07:10 |
Let's show folk architecture from different countries.
In Romania traditional village architecture vanished in percent of 95% due to the perisable materials. Exception are the villages in the Saxon area were the houses, built in stone and brick resisted from 18-19th centuries.
In other regions there are exemplaries which can be found in some villages but most of the villages are of recent (last decades) houses.
There is a number of ~10 open air museums of traditional architecture. The biggest and most interesting are:
- Bucharest: Village Museum, the oldest (1936)
- Sibiu (Dumbrava Sibiului, near Sibiu city): Museum of Traditional Popular Civilisation, the biggest and most beautiful, hiddedn in a large forest arround a lake. The website page is interesting, you can virtualy visit the museum by panoraming the image and clicking on the arrows which appear on the image.
- Cluj-Napoca: Ethnographic Museum of Transylvania
- Timisoara: Banat Village Museum
- Golesti (Arges county): The Museum of Fruit Growing and Viticulture
- Rmnicu Vlcea (Bujoreni village, near Rmnicu Vlcea): The Village Museum of the Vlcea County
- Sighetul Marmatiei: The Ethnographic Museum of Maramures located in this city which was the medieval capital of Maramures Land
- Trgu Jiu (Curtisoara village, near Trgu Jiu): Gorj Folk Architecture Museum
- Negresti (Satu Mare county): Oas Land Village Museum. The museum of this small but extraordinary historical region (not bigger than the today Bucharest)

I randomly picked a place in Quebec to show some "folk" architecture from Quebec.
"The general shape of most houses, barns, and baraques is fairly simple, but all are painted in a variety of bright colours."
"The Acadian and French origins of many of the Islanders, as well as some influence from New England, can be seen in the architecture of their homes. The traditional Island house can be identified by certain specific elements: tambours, corbels, porches and cedar shingles."
"The "baraque" - a quaint little square barn with a sliding roof controlled by a pulley system that was/is used to store hay and protect it from bad weather."
"St-Franois-Xavier Church (1875) and presbytery (below) is the oldest religious architectural ensemble on the islands. The presbytery roof is typically Mansard."
"St-Pierre Church (below) - 1876 - the second largest wooden church in North America. The wood intentionally used in its construction was retrieved from shipwrecks and blessed."
"Buttes" (mounds), separated by low valleys. The Madelinots built their houses and farms on these gently sloping areas:
A home at the Cape (below).

Because land was becoming increasingly scarce, traditional English houses could be 3 or more storeys high. Cities that were spared the German bombs have many buildings of this type
