Modern small and large cities look more or less the same no matter where they are in the world. But still some people live in houses that are built according to tradition or completely different. The design of the house depends on the climate, the topography, the materials used to build the house at hand, the way of life.
Cave House: (Cappadocia, Turkey)
The soil here is made of igneous rock. Volcanic rocks erode and take on a variety of pillars, columns, and caves. For thousands of years, the people here have cut them down and turned them into huts, pantries and churches. This has been facilitated by the softening of igneous rocks. When the foreign invaders attacked, the local people took refuge in these caves. At present, hotels have been set up for tourists in some of them.
Holes in the ground: (Kuber Paddy, Australia)
To escape the heat of the sun, the opal miners first turned the abandoned quarries into their own quarters. After a while they started cutting stones themselves and building new houses. They called these houses 'dug out' or 'ditch'. Dog outs include several bedrooms and spacious living rooms. And all the houses are naturally air-conditioned. This means that their temperature is not too high or too low, they are quite comfortable.
Ulukhagarh Floating House: (Southern Iraq)
The wetlands here are inhabited by Ma'dan or Bilbasi Arabs. Their traditional houses are made of reeds. These are located on the banks of the river. The war and the flooding of the wetlands have severely affected the people here. Now the water has started flowing over the soil here again.
Invitation to tea in my tent: (Eurasian steppe region)
The ideal place for nomads to stay is the tent. Those who do not live permanently anywhere, roam here and there are called nomads. The tents of the Mongols and Turks of the Eurasian steppe region are called ‘ger’. They are made of felt cloth. Willow poles are used to keep them upright. They are cold in summer, but in severe winters you have to use a stove to keep them warm.
The desert region of the Middle East
Nomadic herdsmen in the Sahara and Arabian deserts also use tents to stay. The tents are made of cloth made from camel or goat hair and wool. These are also erected with poles. The poles are tied tightly with long ropes. And they are made a little lower so that the wind or sandstorm does not block them.
Luxury Houseboat: (Kashmir, India)
This is familiar to all of us. Because it is also seen in our country. Very beautiful, well-arranged houseboats are anchored in the lakes of Kashmir. Row upon row of houseboats can be seen in several canals in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Houseboats are also a place for fishing families in Hong Kong's famous ports.
