Shelter or homes are always designed keeping in mind certain aspects that are relevant to good living. Pertaining to the climate and other physical factors of a place, architects all over the world constantly reimagine and redefine the concept of a home. To give a glimpse of the different kinds of houses across the world, an excursion to ‘Varied Houses around the World’ was organised for the students of class P3 on July 30, 2021 on a virtual platform.

The students explored different types of houses in India, Canada, New York , Korea, Mongolia and Philippines and also learned about a variety of houses like Bungalow, Victorian houses, Stilt houses, Yurts, Duplex apartment, Studio apartment, House Boats and Railroad houses to name a few. The children were mesmerised to see the unique houses across the world. They were able to understand how different criterias like climate, raw material, landform, rainfall etc. affect the kind of houses that can be constructed in a particular region. It was a great learning experience for them.
