nümayiin
Nümayiin is a term used to describe a specific type of traditional nomadic dwelling, particularly found among certain indigenous groups in Central Asia. These dwellings are characterized by their portable nature, allowing families and communities to relocate with the changing seasons or to follow grazing herds. The construction typically involves a collapsible framework, often made of wood, which is then covered with animal hides or felt. This material choice provides insulation against both the extreme cold of winter and the heat of summer.
The design of nümayiin is highly practical, emphasizing ease of assembly and disassembly. They are often circular
Historically, nümayiin have played a crucial role in the survival and cultural continuity of nomadic peoples.
