Bentwood Architecture of the Orma Women Builders in East Kenya
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cn_oo9Y22tQThe house is unusually high, with a raised up bed, and this is to protect the occupants from the occasional flooding of the river Tana. All the natural materials are gathered from within a few kilometers of the village. Essentially it is a bentwood frame lashed together into a gridshell. The whole structure is strong as it is a natural parabolic dome.
