Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Throughout the better part of our existence, people have built or created structures to fit their needs. The only thing that has really changed is the surrounding from which these needs are formed. For many of us, a home is a four-walled structure that sits on a permanent foundation. At least, in traditionally America but to others, it is a snowy sanctuary, a cave, or even a boat floating across the ocean. A home can be made of many different materials, set in many types of climates, from all over the world. Let's take a tour of a few different types of houses around the world.
In Tunisia, which is actually a popular film location for Star Wars, we see a lot of cave homes that have been carved out of sandstone on the sides of mountains. These are one-of-a-kind properties that provide protection from the North African sun and winds. Cave homes are great because they are ecologically friendly, provide a natural layer of insulation, and rocks provide a natural sound barrier. Cave homes can also be bought or built much cheaper than traditional housing and often often a layer of protection to outside intrusion since there is usually just one side to protect. While these are all great benefits some of the lesser things a cave home provides are natural lightning and the risk of increased moisture. A cave home also has the risk of collapse during an earthquake if not properly re-enforced.
If we turn to a more colder climate like the Baffin Islands in Canada, they tend to live in Igloos. That is a more interesting type of housing. Though it isn't as prevalent as they once were, igloos are used by those outdoor people who are seeking temporary shelter. They are skillfully constructed out of insulating, compressed snow, it keeps the person inside warm by blocking harsh winds and can even house a small fire. Igloos are connected to Inuit history and culture and can be found in North America locations. Some of the negatives of the Igloo is that the shelter is temporary and the lining of the igloo melts. The igloos is also still very cold compared to other shelters and also usually built away from other societies.
For a while the idea of tiny housing swept the market and few people fell in love with it. Living in a tiny house advocates the idea of down sizing and living in a more simplified space. One advantage of tiny home is that the cost is less than a traditional home. For the 20% down payment you would need for a traditional home you would probably be able to build a cozy little tiny home. Tiny homes also provide you with a means of less clutter, less spaces mean less opportunities to accumulate the things in your life that you don't need. Also, the less square footage you have, the less it costs to heat or cool so in return the more you'll save each month on your bills. So in theory your savings account should grow. However, with any house it requires some land to place it on and land it always pricey so that can be a negative as it still requires you to purchase some sort of land despite that size of the home. Another con is it can be more challenging to find someone to give you a loan for your tiny home than a traditional home.
A Hanok is a traditional Korean house that was built in the 14th century. As with most Japanese and Korean culture the positioning and style of the house in relation to its surroundings, the land, and even the seasons is important. The ideal Hanok house is built with a mountain in the back and a river in the front. Built from locally sourced materials, they are traditionally made of tiled roofs, wooden beams, and flooring built in the Ondol style, which allows the floors to be heated with smoke during the winter and cooled in the summer. One of the most noticeable characteristics is the curved roof line. Most traditional Hanok have rolled out bedding that you sleeping on so fore some people that could be uncomfortable. You dine on the floor on a low table. Some pros are that they usually have bathrooms in them and are scenic views.
