Geography

The Influence of Geography on Traditional Architecture Styles

Quick fact

In northern Scandinavia, traditional houses are built with sod roofs weighing over a ton to provide insulation, while in the Amazon, stilted houses keep living spaces above floodwaters and away from ground-level pests.
