Yurts Across the United States & Canada
Western
Yurts
A yurt-derived structure in the Colorado mountainsEnthusiasts in
other countries have taken the visual idea of the yurt—a round,
semi-permanent tent—and have adapted it to their cultural needs.
Although those structures may be copied to some extent from the
originals found in Central Asia, they often have some different
features in their design that adapt them to different climate
and use.
In the United States and Canada, yurts are made using hi-tech
materials. They are highly engineered and built for extreme
weather conditions. In addition, erecting one can take days and
they are not intended to be moved often. These North American
yurts are better named yurt derivations, as they are no longer
round felt homes that are easy to mount, dismount and transport.
North American yurts and yurt derivations were pioneered by
William Coperthwaite in the 1960s, after he was inspired to
build them by an article about Supreme Court Justice William O.
Douglas's visit to Mongolia.
In Europe, a closer approximation to the Mongolian and Central
Asian yurt is in production in several countries. These tents
use local hardwood, and often are adapted for a wetter climate
with steeper roof profiles and waterproof canvas. In essence
they are yurts, but some lack the felt cover that is present in
traditional yurt.
Different groups and individuals use yurts for a variety of
purposes, from full-time housing to school rooms. In some
provincial parks in Canada, and state parks in several US
states, permanent yurts are available for camping. |
