The varied size pathways create scopes of gathering and activity spaces for the inhabitants. Therefore, most of the houses are organized along the pathway, creating linear settlement patterns. The settlement pattern is eked out of the natural settings and contour characteristics of the hill. The houses are constructed of local materials such as bamboo, wood, grass, and these materials are abundantly available in the hilly areas. Usually a raised platform containing open and semi open terraces is the common feature of the tribal houses of hill track areas. © Asaduzzaman Mahi Site section © Asaduzzaman Mahi © Asaduzzaman Mahi One of the aims of this project is to preserve these traditional crafts by transferring the knowledge to the youths through training and awareness program.
