HOME Yurts

Green Homes Don’t Have To Be Durable According to most green advocates, green buildings must be durable. Alex Wilson memorably summed up the case for durability in an Environmental Building News article titled “Durability: A Key Component of Green Building.”

Tents - The Beginning of Architecture (BBC The Culture Show)

All architecture begins with the tent. Tents are what humans lived in before we put down roots and began our love affair with bricks and mortar.

Has civilisation - and architects in particular - unfairly overlooked the brilliant, efficient design of the tent? In an overcrowded world faced with a housing crisis and dwindling natural resources, could the tent be the answer? Tom Dyckhoff thinks it could well be.
