meaning/usage overlaps with....

石窟建築

英文....	Refers to structures excavated into living rock. This term may overlap in meaning with "cave architecture," but cave architecture is not necessarily rock-cut, and rock-cut architecture is not necessarily designed around a cave.
荷蘭語....	Verwijst naar structuren die in levend gesteente zijn uitgehakt. Er kan overlapping in betekenis optreden met 'grotarchitectuur,' maar grotarchitectuur is niet altijd uit de rotsen gehouwen, terwijl rotsarchitectuur niet altijd rond een grot is aangebracht.
西班牙語....	Estructura excavada en la roca viva. Se diferencia de "arquitectura en cueva”, que denota el uso de cavidades rocosas existentes.
