Explanation:
Taitorakenteet is a buzz word, and a total failure as such. As the word "taito" means skills, taitorakenteet would imply that other structures would not require skills. "Specialty Structures" is commonly used in American English to categorize structures where a variety of specialized skills and knowledge is required.
