RE: HONAI: Traditional House Model of the Dani Tribe, Papua

in Architecture+Design4 days ago

I've always been fascinated by vernacular architecture. And Indonesia is certainly rich in her diverse collection of traditional houses. The Dani tribe's abode really resembles igloos, minus the ice and snow. They also remind me of teepees, the native houses of the indigenous American Indians. The structures are quite similar in terms of their conical shapes and round profiles. Amazing architectural tour @titisnariyah! ☺️

Thanks for Elevating Architecture and Design with Hive!

Wow... I immediately searched about teepees in my browser, and yes you are right, the cone-shaped part is more like the teepee tribe in America. What a new knowledge. Thank you, @storiesoferne for the info. Have a nice day
