👉 In the context of architecture, "roughhewn" refers to a rudimentary or unpolished form of architectural design that is often characterized by its simplicity and lack of ornamentation. This style is often associated with early Roman and Greek structures, as well as other ancient civilizations where raw materials and natural materials were commonly used in construction. The term has since evolved into a general term for any type of building or structure that lacks the refined details and decoration typically found in more polished or elaborate constructions.
