For centuries, the tipi was the chosen home of many American Indian tribes. Times have changed, but the tipi is still with us. People around the world are discovering the charms of this beautiful, portable shelter. This practical guide tells: - where to get a tipi - how to haul it - how to set it up - how to furnish it - how to keep it warm in winter, cool in summer, and dry in a stormy spring

This text contains easy-to-follow diagrams, clear instructions and complete materials lists to enable readers to construct tent-like structures based on designs developed by North American plains Indians and Mongols. Many principles used in modern homes have their origins in these primitive dwellings, and many innovative solutions to the problems of heating, lighting and ventilation are exemplified in the simple engineering of tipis and yurts. The book also includes sections on the functional and spiritual role of these nomadic dwellings and customizing them with solar-power and wooden platforms.

from the Introduction: This study will, first, document the historic contributions of women to American architecture; second, analyze the underlying social and economic reasons for the present situation by attracting more women to the profession of architecture. This book is part of the general discussion concerning women in this country; it is part of a trend and, hopefully, this trend will lead not only to further discussion but to constructive activity. One cannot deny the facts, but perhaps many people will disagree with the point of view expressed in this book. The ideas presented here are based upon research, interviews, and discussion with my male and female colleagues and, not surprisingly, there was a diversity of opinions, ideas, and goals, even among the women. The point is not that women are more likely than their male counterparts to have found the answers to the difficult issues confronting the profession of architecture, but that perhaps they are raising new and different questions which are pertinent to its future.
