		+
		+	Remains have been found of simple structures constructed from animal skins draped between sticks dating back over 40,000 years, and it is likely these were the first type of shelter constructed by humans.
		+
		+	Simple tents suited a nomadic lifestyle. Lightweight and easy to carry, they could be moved from place to place in harsh environments where it was necessary to keep on the move to stay alive. Where resources were more plentiful, it was possible to settle down and build permanent shelters in the form of huts. In intermediate environments, a whole range of composite structures developed, part tent, part hut, most notably the Yurt, a demountable hut, still in use in places such as Mongolia today.
		+
		+	This combination of a fundamental requirement for shelter, moderated by practicality and resource availability, still drives the design of our buildings today, and can be seen in as varied typologies as the Troglodytic architecture of sculptured hillside landscapes in Morocco, to the Eskimos’ igloos, to Malaysian tree-dwelling, African courtyard houses, and the English thatched cottage.

		+	Very broadly shelters might be required to provide:
		+
		+	* Privacy.
		+	* Security.
		+	* Cover from the sun, rain, wind, snow and so on.
		+	* Control of temperature, air movement, humidity, air quality, noise and so on.
		+	* A status symbol.
		+	* A meeting point.
		+	* Permanent or temporary accommodation.
