Under the current socio-economic conditions, there are serious challenges in producing qualitatively complete architectural environments for the development of craft centers to provide professional training to people in traditional crafts. While this is the case everywhere in the world, it is more so in Kazakhstan. In this context, this paper presents research on the operation of local and international folk-art and crafts centers in Kazakhstan. The research employed qualitative research methods to gather data. It carried out field research and relied on the work of and information derived from leading experts in the development of craft centers. In this paper, first, a general theoretical model for the creation of a functional and typological network of folk applied craft centers is presented. Afterwards, it presents the principles of architectural development necessary for the creation of such centers. The paper offers proposals for architectural, functional, and typological organization of educational and production centers for folk applied crafts (EPC-FAC). The proposal is made within the general theoretical model at the intra-economic, economic and inter-economic, district, regional, and republican levels. This model can serve as a project proposal for architects and urban planners in the urban planning placement of various types of EPC-FAC.
