Here is a list of ways in which a shelter functions:. Some shelters are private, some are commercialized, and some more are built for charitable reasons. Over the course of time, people started to build shelters that catered to their needs and requirements.
Hence, we see many different types of buildings all over the world that provide shelter for human beings. Here are some factors that have contributed to these vastly different buildings that serve the same purpose:.
Apart from the atmospheric factors that play a role in the structure of buildings, it also depends on the culture and economy of the place and people who build them. In places of low economy, the shelters are generally made of natural resources that are available around them for free such as mud and straw. In certain places, people still build houses to uphold their culture and traditions. For example, many houses in Thailand are still made out of bamboo even today, as that was the material used in the previous age due to its availability in large quantities.
To reiterate the question this article began with, yes, shelter is essential for our survival, and we can absolutely not exist without some form of shelter to protect us, be it natural or man-made.
There are still few tribes around the world who have not come in contact with the modern man and his latest structures of shelter, but even these tribes utilize trees and caves to secure themselves through the changing seasons. Even though many people have been known to go on treks and other outdoor activities for days together where they are out in the wild with no typical shelter to protect them, they still do find temporary shelters in nature itself. There has never been a time in history when man lived for any long period of time with no shelter over his head.
