Native American Tipis: Engineering Portable Survival in the Great Plains

Описание: Native American Tipis: Engineering Portable Survival in the Great Plains

What if the most brilliant survival design was made of wood, hide, and fire? The Native American tipi was more than a home—it was engineering genius, a spiritual center, and a tool of survival in the harsh Great Plains. In this video, we explore how tipis withstood storms, moved with buffalo, and embodied sacred geometry. We will explore origins, buffalo hides, pole gathering, the fire at the center, smoke hole design, east-facing doors, wind anchoring, migration, symbolism, women as builders, and echoes in modern design. Discover how these portable shelters shaped a culture of resilience and continue to inspire architecture today.
