| Most Asian
buildings are made from wood or bricks. Some are sticks or thin planks
of wood that are weaved together. In some parts of Asia the houses are
raised up on stilts. Some houses' roofs are made of grass but in other
areas they have metal roofs or wood. On the right is an elementary
school building in rural India made from sticks weaved together. On the
left are some steps you would find in a building in Rural India. The
typical Asian architecture style is small and not very many stories. |

| Buildings in Asia are usually
made of wood, brick, or stone. Because most of Asia is warm people do
not usually bother putting insulation in their floors or walls. Houses
in Asia are sometimes built on stilts and people put fire wood under
the houses. There are many different kinds of architecture throughout
Asia. It's different in different parts of Asia. Like in rural areas
the buildings are short and small and made out of wood. In the cities
in Asia, the buildings are taller and made probably out of cement or
brick. |
