In the continuity of any cultural heritage there are processes of learning, assimilation, borrowing, and the inheritance of the best traditions of building folk dwellings also reflects such an idea. When studying architecture, first of all, it is necessary to delve into the living conditions of people of the past, in the economic and cultural features of the environment, as well as to understand the art and technology of ancient masters, so as to come to an understanding of the development and transformation of construction activity, regional and national character of architectural forms, mutual fusion and absorption of architectural images, which ultimately gives rise to the impulse to borrow, to adopt the experience. Centuries of history, vast territory, huge population and numerous ethnic groups have predetermined the diversity of traditional dwelling forms. The book consists of two sections. The first section is based on chronology: detailed descriptions of folk dwellings and analysis of their historical evolution follow the development of the entire civilization. The starting point of the second section is the classification of dwellings by type: it provides information about the peculiarities of different houses and the specifics of their mutual arrangement, and analyzes them in detail.
