Folklore vs. Folk life

After reading the text, the primary difference between folklore and folk life is the way in which each is expressed. As folklore consists of the traditions and stories that are passed down orally, folk life includes all of the unpracticed actions that take place in one's life and are generally shared with others belonging to the same folk group.

Folk architecture is the creation of any building or structure by an inexperienced and untrained architect. Folk architecture in many ways can be viewed as a form of art as it represents individual expression and creativity.
