Building Blocks

A brief look at architecture as it has evolved over time.

The Wigwam

1.  Timeframe:  1600’s
2.  Building Materials:  Bent wood poles and Bark
3.  Structure:  These one room structures, with a opening for smoke, were constructed with bent saplings and bark.  The young trees were buried and bent to make an arched frame.  Birch bark could be layered on top to make a roof.  Cedar bark was then shingled on the sides.
