I've been lucky enough to go to a few folk art museums around the world. Buildings made by peasants can be richly ornamented, a stark contrast to the landscape, or fitting in with it. The designs showcase their craftsmanship, their relationship to their faith, their connection to their culture, and to the natural world. It reminds one of what it means to be a human who cares about more than function. Art and culture may not be the sole domain of humans, but it's one we've mastered. The spaces we live in and around should be filled with it.
