Cultural architecture

This evening ABC AUSTRALIA TV CHANNEL telecast an interesting documentary on how a family has integrated cultural aspects in house building and interior decoration.

Cost of such buildings are high for middle class and low income group people. 

I think that the same concept used to be adopted by village folk in their thatched roof mud houses, bamboo cots etc. until 30 years ago or so in our own country. Unfortunately we have ignored this aspect and embraced western concepts.
