SKETCH FROM MY PROJECT 2

I draw these two pictures in Pitt River museum. The two pictures showed houses from the different tribes. When I saw them in the museum.I thought the style of these two houses was very special.

The first picture showed the house of TODA , this tribe live in the hills and the door were small and there were big animals on the hills.So there were no windows and the doors were very small, and people had to bend over to get in.

The second picture showed the other style of the house. I know that the shelter be found of deerskin and wooden stick. The shelter can keep heat for residents. And it can make insect away. The shelter is easy to constructed in the open by hunter.

I think the wisdom of the ancient people is very admirable. For example, the second picture of the house, the traces of the wire patching above, although I don’t know what the material is made of, but it is certain that people have had creative ideas at that time. The design of ancient houses laid the foundation for the design of modern houses.

  1. These are very interesting collection. I feel that the advantage of houses can be applied in nowadays. For example, The environment of shelters do have many similarities with camping. We can combinate the advantage of the traditional shelters with tent to better protect people in dangerous environment.

  2. It seems that you have a strong interest in the architecture of the ancients. The ancient craftsmen and architects have extraordinary creativity and imagination. They have designed and created different functional and very practical architectural structures, which gives us a lot of inspiration.
