Set out to discover some of the world's most unique dwellings!

There are over 7 billion people in the world, and we all live in different ways. Humans have adapted to the the space and climate of their surroundings, putting all their ingenuity toward devising shelter, building a home and making it beautiful. Houses on stilts, caves, walls of clay or plaster, roofs of wood or thatch... You don't build a house the same way in Morocco and Finland. Anne Jonas provides an exhaustive survey of all the architectural forms homes have taken, solutions to diverse geographical and social settings where humans have put down roots.
