(Show)
The paper outlines the building process of Ladakhi houses in the Indus Valley. Using stone, earth, and wood, the homes are often built on top of old foundations. The houses have to be built in a rather short period of time (June-October) because of the shedule allowed by the weather. (Mark Premo-Hopkins 2004-04-15)
