Thatched Roof

Thatched Roof

Definition

A traditional roof made from layers of dry vegetation such as straw, water reed, or palm branches.

Interpretation

A shelter made of time. Thatched roofs are woven from the land itself โ€” biodegradable, breathable, and built with hands. They whisper the wisdom of vernacular building: use what you have, with skill and story.

Living Invitation

Look up. What is above you, literally and metaphorically? What protects you, and where does it come from?
