Alternative Dwelling Construction
Alternative Dwelling Construction
Alternative dwelling construction is the building of compact or unconventional shelters whose form relates closely to their setting. Tiny homes, cabins, containers, treehouses, and below-ground shelters use different arrangements of foundations, building fabric, and services. Temporary bushcraft structures remain distinct from permanent dwellings, while each form connects the needs of shelter with the particular relationship between a building and its surroundings.
