short description
A rain shed is representative of the Adi tribe, which can be termed as the ingenious creation resourceful structure by the Adi, the people of the Upper Siang district of Arunachal Pradesh, India. This tribe is much known for its cultural treasure, its relation with nature and also for its craftsmanship; one major example is how they would process the locally available material-cane, into a useful yet aesthetic work of art. This rain shed sometimes goes by the name of 'traditional shelter'; it is very carefully woven out of cane, which is found in plenty in the forests of Arunachal Pradesh.
The main purpose of this shed is to offer protection during the monsoon period, which turns out to be much more than a simple need in that terrain characterized by random, heavy rainfall. The design of this construction, as a rain shed, is both functional and sustainable. This indeed shows how deep the tribe understands their environment and the climatic conditions. A construction of cane makes the shed light but very strong. That provides safety against rain but still remains breathable. The gaman of the rain shed shows the Adi tribe to be practically intelligent in architecture by using materials which are a little beneficial in this place while they are also sympathetic to the natural surroundings. Common people use temporary rain shelters for their everyday purpose, may it be a farmer or a hunter. In short, this rain shed was created for the Adi tribe and is a gorgeous example of the tribe's craftsmanship and adaptation to their natural environment-the ability to sustain human needs with the respect accorded to the environment.
