Urbanism and Architecture in Greenland

    Nearly all Greenlandic architecture is extremely utilitarian.  Buildings and other structures emphasize functionality over form. Greenlandic homes are typically constructed of stone, sod, or wood.  During the summers, some families live in tents made from furs or skins. Communities are typically tightly clustered together: for the Eskimo, solitude is a sign of sheer unhappiness. It is thought to be a perversion and absolutely undesirable.
