Résumé
What features do Inuit Igloos, Native American tepees and Swiss chalets have in common? Not much on the face of it, because they belong to three very separate cultures. Nevertheless it may still be relevant to draw a comparison between such different dwellings as we will see in this essay. As a matter of fact a distinction has to be made between the many and often very dissimilar human dwellings that have been created until now, but it remains that the process of building dwelling is in itself interesting. It is characteristic of all settled human societies, and therefore it is maybe representative of the meaning of being human itself. Human dwellings would thereby be all different but they would share the same origin in the human need for shelter. As a result, to understand what is common in all human dwellings, it is crucial to wonder what the origin of the house is.
