Title: The Nomadic Movement For Seekers of Shelter, Style and Serenity
Title: The Nomadic Movement For Seekers of Shelter, Style and Serenity
INTRODUCTION
Nomadic living involves a different way of seeing things and a different attitude towards
accommodation, family, work and life. For many people, the home is a symbol of permanence
and the physical expression of stability and security. For others, there is less of an aspiration to
put down roots and rather a desire to explore the natural environment – to travel, adapt and
change living conditions with ease. This gives rise to small, flexible and moveable structures for
the urban nomad. When life is not concentrated in one location, nomadic architecture proposes
new living typologies that involve transforming the way we rest, cook, work and exist on the go.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
Movement of both animals and people is an inherent aspect of nomadic
pastoralism and research into why and how movement takes place has formed a
substantial part of anthropological studies of nomadism.
To disturb the nature.
MOTIVATION
The term nomad encompasses three general types: nomadic hunters and gatherers,
pastoral nomads, and tinker or trader nomads.
Pastoral nomads,
who depend on domesticated livestock, migrate in an established territory to find pasturage for
their animals. Most groups have focal sites that they occupy for considerable periods of the
year. Pastoralists may depend entirely on their herds or may also hunt or gather, practice some
agriculture, or trade with agricultural peoples for grain and other goods. Some seminomadic
groups in Southwest Asia and North Africa cultivate crops between seasonal moves. The
patterns of pastoral nomadism are many, often depending on the type of livestock,
the topography, and the climate
In the modern world, we live in sedentary or non-mobile societies. That's what we're used to.
However, that lifestyle didn't become widely available until the late Stone Age, a period called
the Neolithic (literally New Stone Age), as the Ice Age ended around 10,000 BCE. For the roughly
190,000 years of human existence prior to that, within the period called the Paleolithic (Old Stone
Age), all human societies were nomadic. This means that they did not have permanent addresses
or build permanent structures. They traveled throughout the year, moving with their food supplies
and available resources.
With the taming of the horse for domestic usage and its resulting mobile life forms, especially the
emergence of horse breeding mounted nomads in 200 B.C., and the employment of the camel as a pack
and riding animal from 100 B.C., a spatially far-reaching, at times war-like nomadic mobility developed.
However, these developments have had differing results, according to region. Basic economic and social
conditions, often in conjunction with cultural conditions
