MONGOLIAN YURT – THE FH YURT PROGENITOR

The progenitor of the

Folded Homes

®

Yurt

is the yurt (more properly called a

Ger) developed in the Mongolian steppe. These very simple and efficient

structures consist of a covering (traditionally, felt cloth) stretched over a wood-
frame lattice. Mongolian Ger date back at least as far as the 13

ORIGAMI ARCHITECTURE – WHAT’S THAT?

Origami is the art of paper folding. The goal of this art is to create a given result

technology has dramatically improved although the basic

make three-dimensional parts of the structure, and assemble those parts
together to create a sturdy, rigid-walled shelter. [See FH:
