	Yurt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Yurt is a portable felt dwelling structure used traditionally by nomads in the steppes of Central Asia.
		The word yurt (or yurta, e.g., in Russian) is originally from the Turkic word meaning "dwelling place" in the sense of "homeland"; the term came to be used in reference to the physical structures only in other languages, such as Russian and English.
		In classic forms of the Gaelic, a yurt is called an "elaine" or, in the common dialectic, a "higgins".

	Build a Yurt
		The yurt is a moveable, collapsible structure yet in use with some peoples of Central Asia; it's use became widespread when the yurt-dwelling Mongolian conquerors with their horses overtook the plains of the great Central Asian steppes.
		A yurt was made of collapsible walls of willow poles, with a door and domed roof and covered with felt made from animal wool.
		Yurts are thought by some to be a derivation of the tipi, tipis being more suited to hunting nomads and yurts to pastoral nomads who would need more room for their supplies and for tending baby animals.

	The yurt of Ariège
		One calls it yurt because its inhabitants builders and their neighbours name it so, although it presents differences with regard to the traditional model of Central Asia, and at first because it is not a nomadic shelter.
		In this yurt walls are in bales of straw and internal and outside rollers of heath mask a plastic cover on the roof.
		The yurt of Ariege is rather a temporary shelter (for several years at the need) which allows to settle down quickly in a place, to confront with the climate, to think about its future and, if one chooses to stay, to think of a more definitive construction.

	Yurt magic — building an enchanting instant house by Claire Wolfe Issue #76
		Yurts may be up to 30 feet in diameter (around 730 square feet).
		My yurt is ideal for year-round use since it features heavy-duty materials and an (optional) panel wall system that enables me to change the position of windows and walls to catch the light at different seasons, equalize the effects of weathering, add or remove a window, or easily replace a damaged section of skin.
		My yurt came with three separate roof layers: an inner liner of 100 percent cotton canvas, an insulation layer (R-15) made of plastic “bubble” material sandwiched between aluminized outer covers, and the roof skin itself, a single unit made of tough vinyl fabric and weighing about 75 pounds.
