- Tibetan architecture has been very influenced by China and India. Many of their houses are typically built on elevated sites facing the south, so they are sunny, with a lot of windows to let in the sunlight. They are build with materials as rocks, wood, cement and earth.
- Jamaican houses can be heavenly, but there are also a lot of people who live in poor districts, with a lot of violence and poverty.
- I've found an example of a teacher who build her own mud house near a lake in Australia. I guess it's cheaper than any other house, and you can almost build it with your own hands, so you can choose easily every detail.
- Redcliffe is a peninsula in the north-east of Brisbane, the state capital of Queensland, Australia. Seemingly, is a popular tourist location, with several beaches, where residents of Brisbane seeks a place to relax.
- Surprisingly, there are still people living in caves in several countries. In fact I have found some amazing photos in Internet, about a chinese village entirely placed in a great cave, including their school. Take a look at them, it's worth it! (http://www.yousaytoo.com/kitty/cave-people/4544)
