in the country of Tashkent Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is one of the traditional Uzbekistani houses in the country. As you can see from the picture it was built of clay bricks. There are no windows outside the yard. There is only the door. All the windows look into the yard of this house, so that passer-bys could not look into the windows and see what is there.
Please, don't think that all the country houses in Uzbekistan are constructed this way. It is Central Asia...

Hi Natalya,
every local traditional architecture makes sense, respecting climate, intimacy, function. You explained and showed it very well.

I've seen many of these traditional houses in the Andijan valley of Uzbekistan. Some have wonderfully carved woodwork at the junction between the walls and the roof. This picture is a little dark, but keep up the good work.
