Altaïr takes an in-depth look at traditional houses and ways of life all over the world
This month the magazine Altaïr, in a special issue, discovers what traditional houses and ways of life are like in communities and populations all over the world. These are cases such as the mud skyscrapers of Yemen, the teepees of the Cree Indians of Canada, the wall-less houses of Samoa, the simple lines of the traditional houses of Japan, the relationship with the environment of the rural world of Ibiza and the surprising tree houses of the Korowai of Irian Jaia.

In some cases, it is about architecture without architects but mostly it is about ways of life in which simple beauty stands out. Unprecedented texts and evocative accompanying images, as usual, from a practical guide and travel journal.
