Mongolian ger

The Mongolia elective in 2018 summer have gave me experience in doing real life constructions of constructing a Ger in Mongolia with bare hands, wood and primitive wood cutting machines.

The program was a summer elective that involves schematic design, production of detailed drawing, making of 1:4 models (which are 2m tall) prior to the visit in Mongolia. Afterwards, we flew to Mongolia for site visits and for the actual construction works at the factory using primitive wood cutting machines. We then constructed the Ger Hub on site. We then visited the final product after half a year and did interviews with users.

Scrap-Metal Fence Some parts of the fence were built with pieces of scrap metal since the could not afford the wood
