O QUE SIGNIFICA FOLLY EM INGLÊS
Loucura
Na arquitetura, uma loucura é um edifício construído principalmente para a decoração, mas sugerindo por sua aparência algum outro propósito, ou simplesmente tão extravagante que transcende a gama normal de ornamentos de jardim ou outra classe de edifício a que pertence. No uso original da palavra, esses edifícios não tinham outro uso, mas, dos séculos XIX a XX, o termo também foi aplicado a edifícios altamente decorativos que possuíam funções práticas secundárias, como habitação, abrigo ou uso comercial. Os jardins ingleses do século 18 e a paisagem ajardinada francesas freqüentemente apresentavam templos romanos, que simbolizavam virtudes ou ideais clássicos. Outras locuras de jardim do século XVIII representavam templos chineses, pirâmides egípcias, abadias arruinadas ou tendas tataras, para representar diferentes continentes ou eras históricas. Às vezes, eles representavam aldeias rústicas, moinhos e casas de campo, para simbolizar virtudes rurais. Muitas loucuras, particularmente durante a fome, como a fome da batata irlandesa, foram construídas como uma forma de alívio pobre, para proporcionar emprego a camponeses e artesãos desempregados.
