House of a Thousand Knots - the Bentwood Architecture of the Orma Women Builders.

This is a previously undiscovered African house, from east Kenya,. It is almost on the edge of extinction, with the tradition being preserved by one remarkable young woman, Ramadan. The tiny home, a beautiful example of organic architecture, is constructed by around twenty women builders over three days, usually just before a marriage. The 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. The area is undergoing rapid change as modern materials and electricity are being brought in, so we were very fortunate to be able to record this building before it disappears completely.
COMPETITION: We tried to count how many knots were actually used in making the building. We have a small competition. The person who is closest to our answer, within three months of the video uploading will receive one of the very last copies of my book, free of charge. Leave a comment with your number, and how you estimated it (even if it is just a random guess). As long as we can then contact you to get your address we will send you a book all about nomadic architecture. There are only about 20 left unsold and this will never again be printed.
FUNDRAISER: This high building has evolved out of a very lightweight and mobile architecture that the same tribe use in the semi-desert regions to the north. We need to raise $5,000 to return to make a full record of this building type. We are open to sponsorships, or would even take a guest with us if you will cover the costs, fancy a trip of a lifetime working on a really important research project?
You can support us via Patreon or make a donation direct through Paypal, or contact us directly if you want to discuss another way to support us - (email address is on our channel page).

Many years ago I stayed in a village like this and I noticed the family who were most involved with my visit only had a single spoon. In the local market I saw a set of 6 spoons being sold very cheaply and I bought them as a gift to the family. They were very happy to receive them but next morning, they only had one spoon again. When I asked, they explained that they only need one spoon but there were other families who could make use of them. They do not value their lives by what they have, but by the connections and friends they have. Nobody lives alone, nobody is homeless, nobody dies alone and anonymous.

You are right. During my travels in Africa 40 years ago, in Chad to be specific, I met a group of ladies who had decided to build a dam to store water in the river when it was flowing and to use this in the dry periods. Every day after working in the fields, they would each carry a basket full of rocks to the site and place them carefully. A bulldozer could have built the dam in a day but these ladies were going to take years. I had such admiration for them and I have no doubt that they completed it.

NOW THIS IS ARCHITECT. BEAUTIFUL 😍. I was always see the most beautiful architects or not the typical mainstream in remote places.

Thank you for your amazing work capturing this process. My guess is 7700 knots

I'm sure there could easily be 25-30,000 knots, this is one the finest built built dwellings of this type I have seen, but I'm sure how anyone would know how many knots were needed. A very good example of making use of short length material.

This is beautiful, at first there were 4 sets of archs each containing about 16 vertical sticks with strings the total was 4000 estimating that each stick has 50 knots which is not true hence the strings were coiling several times before tying. Then I counted 8 sets of archs as the house progressed I would say they are about 10,000knots less than but not more than.
