has gloss | eng: Darbazi (; from , "gate") is the simplest form of Georgian folk architecture with a long history behind. It is a rustic house, the central feature of which is a pyramidal cupola-shaped, stepped vault (gvirgvini) – made of hewn logs and beams – on pillars, with a central opening at the top which serves as both a window and smoke flue. The Roman authority Vitruvius (1st century BC) includes in his De architectura a description of a Colchian dwelling, the ancient prototype of a Georgian darbazi. |
