Amazing Millipede House of West Papua - Built from the Forests - Rumah Kaki Seribu

Not one hammer not one nail or one 2 by 4 forget tiles or sheetrock and roofing tiles. Amazing beyond amazing I hope this craft Is never lost and forgotten.

[@Togolok1]

I am glad to see that it is not the only old people who knows the craft. Majority of people involved in construction are young people and women and children, that’s absolutely great! Thank you for documenting, and sharing !

[@Tser]

I love the aesthetics of this architecture as well as its practicality. Living in a forested, mountainous region myself it's so wonderful to see how many cultures have adapted to this sort of terrain. It's wonderful that you were able to contact the keepers of this skill and have one built. It's gorgeous.

[@PPYTAO]

So incredible to see a tradition like this continued. What a beautiful home and incredible construction.

[@emmaseach1664]

I appreciate this channel so much, but I just want to say it is so much better when there are just the natural environmental sounds rather than music or voice over. It is much more engaging that way, as if I am there. Thank you

[@NomadArchitecture]

Sure. but there are often some awful sounds, like my drone whirring overhead, or on some they have a radio or phone playing music and this triggers automatic copyright strikes.

[@sheldondillon]

Being a carpenter I can appreciate how much effort it takes to build this home. Very impressive

[@jenniferbrown7659]

Aloha! Very important to record these skills and traditions. The delivery of the material. The dedication. The time and expert attention to details. Nothing I have ever observed. Remarkable humans. Asante 🌄🌍🌙

master builder. no drawing. no measurement tape. curved poles are in tension, thus giving the building its strength. the cris-cross members provide solid vertical and horizontal stability. amazing

[@fabriziopetralia93]

Bends and curves create tensions inside building structures which strenghten and therefore stabilize the building. This is finest engeneering and technology! Bravo! Clever builders! 🥰❤

[@Shannonhikes]

Bloody awesome stuff. I really appreciate traditional living. I would have built the stairs a lot sooner though 😂

[@Hoggaforfan]

Curved is 100% function since it introduces a tension in the building keeping everything firm and tight

[@RichardHartness]

Thanks for sharing these amazing videos! I have a question--in some of these videos, you are documenting the way that these indigenous people no longer do, but maybe the older living individuals might have either a few years ago, or even as much as 20-30 years ago. My question is this--when you get these groups to build these old traditional homes, do you pay (or incentive them) to do it, or are they willing to do it for free for the documentation of their history? I just find it amazing. I'm not sure if they used this home after is was built, but it is a curiosity I have. When these people groups move on from these old building methods, how do you motivate them to do it 'one more time'? Thank you.

[@NomadArchitecture]

I almost always pay them for their time. The only exceptions are where they, or maybe a local governor, invites us to make the record. But if I ask, I pay. The local going wage plus a bit more cos I am from a rich western nation. In fact a whole chain of people get paid and I am the only one that doesn't!

[@RichardHartness]

@@NomadArchitecture I appreciate this answer! Even if they don't understand today, hopefully at some point their children will appreciate the documentation of their old ways of constructing homes. Thanks for responding!

[@whateverwanna]

Greeting from Indonesia 🇮🇩, this house is Rumah Kaki Seribu in Indonesian, means One Thousand Legs House, and part of one of Papuan tribes traditional houses, there are also other Papuan traditional house such as Rumah Honai-tropical iglo houses- and many more. I hope someday I can visit Papua, because it is so far away from where I live, even further than Bangkok or Singapore ... ❤❤❤

[@TomboiTravels]

Wow, just wow. Thank you 💚💚💚

[@jayburrough4308]

I love watching all your videos... Hey do you compensate these people that build these homes for your videos if you don't mind me asking thanks

[@moonhunter9993]

I think the curves combined with the double poles is functional. If the poles shrink, it will pull everything together (under tension) without cracking/breaking perhaps? Which helps with the stability? It could also have to do with wind maybe... if the structure is pushed and pulled by the wind, there is some give and take in the curved rods without the ropes/connections snapping off. I am thinking of sewing on the bias, for example, which allows you a little movement/flexibility in a fabric that is otherwise stiff and inflexible. Just a thought... lovely footage

It too about six days to build but some of the materials had been gathered in preparation.

[@mariamachee1438]

You don’t need a big account in the bank to buy materials!! No nails or bricks like most nomadic places in Iran they rely on KZbin’s money for blocks of bricks,cement and they’re wasting money building houses and moving to other places to start building again!!

[@antonevan443]

It looks simple and crude at first, but it's actually very complex and impressive.

[@ivan55599]

l'm not sure if l missed, but how long these buildings last in this environment? Didn't they char in fire those poles which go into the ground?

[@NomadArchitecture]

Often on the steeper slopes I think the ground is pretty well drained and it does not rain as much as in lowland Papua. so no, no charring. They told me that they could last 5-10 years, but also they can be maintained. Part of the reason indeed that they are all being replaced with concrete huts.

[@anitamitchell3452]

@@NomadArchitecture Concrete huts? Oh, that's sad. How do the people feel about that change of events? IDK, maybe it's a good thing.

[@swamp-yankee]

@@anitamitchell3452unlikely. Concrete huts means full settlement and the end of a semi nomadic lifestyle. Plus have you ever spent time in a concrete block building? They’re pretty damp compared to something like this, and they’re not beautiful. Unbroken tradition and beautiful homes make a culture strong and proud

[@andrewsackville-west1609]

Beautiful people, beautiful house, beautiful video! Form follows function. Functional form is beautiful form. Bending the poles prestresses the structure giving it stability and strength. A couple of practical questions... How waterproof is that roof, in practice? The poles look well dried already, were they not green still?

[@NomadArchitecture]

The roofs are pretty waterproof except in monsoon conditions, but they are the first thing to go when modern materials are available as they don't last very long. Poles tend to come from a number of sources, some cut fresh, some have been cut and stored from when they are thinning plantations.

[@robertkreiling1746]

The video was excellent , as usual music ruins most videos as it did this one ! We the viewers just cannot get away from noxious music in our lives . We cannot watch a T.V. show , news show and especially commercials without noxious music . Enough already ! But it could have been a Great video !

[@NomadArchitecture]

Thanks, sorry you feel like that. You should bear in mind though that to record these buildings properly we use drones so cannot get good natural sound. I compose all the music myself and enjoy it. I am sorry you hate it, there are however lots of other channels out there you can watch.

What happens to these structures after you're done filming??? I think it's incredible what can be done without modern machinery and I hope they are able to build more

[@NomadArchitecture]

With most of them there is a family member pretty keen to move in, which I love because we provide someone with a home. In this case we were talking about making it a guest house. They very kindly told me 'it is your house, you decide what to do with it', so I said I would try to send them some visitors. I should add this to the description so thanks for the prompt.
