Primitive Shelter (Sketch)
Its a Plain Buffalo Hide Tepee Sketch. Developed by the Native Americans in their early civilizations. It is designed in a cone shape from Buffalo skin and long wooden poles they will find out in wild, which were very hard to find. These poles were as tall as 15 feet high and they were peeled wooden limbs from lodge pole pines.
As for the entrance they will leave a flap in which faced the east, towards where the sun will rise. However, these cone shaped homes created a big open space inside in which it could sometimes hold up to 30-40 people. It also contained an open space at the top of the tepee to let smoke out from a pit they created in the middle of the tepee. One of the reasons for which it was created this way was because it was highly mobile and it was also a strong structure that withstood and maintained still.

This sketch was drawn at broad daylight one afternoon. It is an assignment a professor has assigned in which from this sketch we are asked to develop a floor plan, section and an axon. Our few sketches had to include exact measurements and its materials as well just to get an overview of the entire structure. After it was drawn it was basically an entire scavenger hunt figuring out what went where and if the measurements were correct; that was very important. The structure consisted of many beams, brick columns, stone was also included and, metal detailing.
It was a bit of a difficult segment trying to pick up the pieces of the sketch and placing it on a floor plan without knowing exactly how the original plan, section and axon was. Basically stating that it was a challenge in which eventually was achieved. Therefore, something I learned throughout this was never take a simple structure for granted because it does has its little tricks throughout the way in which can complicate the plans.
