SHELTER

The effect of climate and availability of materials on the shelter of various peoples introduces this film. The houses of the Eskimos, Arabs, equatorial Africans, and other backward races are explained. The central theme of the main body of the picture is how man has learned to change raw materials found in nature and adapt them to the construction of various types of shelter to suit the various needs of our modern complex civilization. Beginning with the construction of houses built from wood, this leads on through to the use of brick, cement, steel, and glass in modern construction.
