Igloos are popular in certain parts of the world.
- jaclaz 5y agoStrengely enough, traditional building techniques depend on the local availability of materials, you will find stone buildings where stone is available, wood buildings where wood is avaialble and brick buildings where clay is available. No surprise that igloos are popular where the only available material is ice (and you need arches/cupolas as there is nothing to make beams with).
