The rustic architecture, which is the most complete, the most expressive

creation of the old rural societies, reveals the way of living, the technical,social and spiritual acts of these societies.

Building itself as a sign of human presence in nature, as anexpression of man’s inner universe, the architecture shows the individualityof the community, revealing simultaneously its social command, thetechnical and material possibilities and last, but not least, its degree of artistic sensitivity.

Presenting significant clues to outline the frame of the daily life and theway of providing a lasting and permanent shelter (characteristic for thesedentary populations), the rustic homes are looked upon as a researchmaterial, particularly interesting and useful for archaeologists, historians,ethnographers and architects.

The essential characteristics of the Romanian rustic architectureare the functionality, the adequacy of the purpose and of theaccomplishing means, the measure and the harmony in settling, the décor and the proportions, the expressivity, the integration in the scenery. All of these give unity to the whole thing, personalizing at the same time the

achievements of our rustic architecture.We mention below several aspects of general order that can be

seen in all the regions of the country (with some exceptions, of course,exceptions determined by the local social-economical conditions).

The privacy and the warmth of the inner rooms (particularitiesthat are defining for the environment of the rustic houses all over thecountry) can be achieved through a various and rich inventory of textiles,furniture and ceramics, paintings on wood and glass, rustic costumes,

items for home usage. The reduced height of the rooms and the ceilingswith visible girders are also specific to Romanian rustic houses.

The rooms, so well balanced and harmonious, are not isolated at allfrom the outside, on the contrary, because of the verandah they are alwaysopened to it. Original architecture element and specific to Romanian rusticarchitecture, the verandah (prispa) is low or high, situated on one side of thehouse or the other, with or without a balcony, it dominates and determinesthe position of the facades, assuring the fluency of the inside and outsidespaces (of the house).

A traditional farmyard - Bucovina.

Around the yard are placed the summer kitchen, the barn and

stable, and the mainhouse.

Using natural resources-their joining and structure way together withthe pure geometric forms of the volume of the walls and roofs, the subtle dosageof the shadow and the light, the harmonic chromatics - all these characteristicsare elements in tight relationship with the nature.

The houses, the house-holds, situated at a certain distance from theroad, represent interference points of the natural places with those created byman; they are elements that determined the peasant to make a change in thenature through his creative intervention.
