Someone want to build a house, it means whole village will take part. The house frame made by a bamboo. The wood and dry weed takes the entire finish. No metal parts.

A local wisdom in Bena Village, Flores, Indonesia, said that they must live in harmony with nature. They even won't change the contour if they want to build something. The shapes of their villages resembles a ship. Symbolizes the spirit of cooperation, hard work, and mutual aid.
