Fisherman's House Made from Nothing But Leaves! The Turkana of Northern Kenya

Описание к видео Fisherman's House Made from Nothing But Leaves! The Turkana of Northern Kenya

Tucked away in the far north of Kenya live a group of women in such a harsh landscape that the only readily available building materials are the large leaves of the doum palm. The frame of the house is made from the leaf stalks (petiole) which have a natural curvature that fits to the dome of the house. The fan palm fronds are bundled together to make the outer cover. The rope is made from shredded leaves, and even the door is made from leaves.
