I wonder why their houses were elevated like this
i’d assume the same reason why hikers like hammocks, gives you quite good protection from nasty creatures on the ground.
Looks like the highlands of Northern Luzon, home to amongst others the Igorot tribe.
@PugJesus The details in this artwork are remarkable. It’s interesting to see how agriculture shaped daily life and settlement patterns…

Weird how huge the stone foundations are compared to the wooden shacks. I have my doubts…
I don’t know much about traditional architecture in the Philippines, but I would presume that they’re there to ensure that the soil itself doesn’t get washed down the hillside, which would make any structures… difficult to maintain.
