OAXACA’S ARCHITECTURE Architecture of Villages: In the village of Teotitlán del Valle, a significant degree of social cooperation (for craft production) is documented. However, one does not find the street facades to be open and social. This is because the social functions of village life are contained within the large domestic courtyard instead. The morphological change of the house and urban layout reflects the unique structure of social relationships and craft economy. Courtyard Internal portico
