Night in Tunisia

housing addendum

another little thing.
They don't insulate here. Ever. It's like there's some unwritten
builders' code that strictly forbids the use of insulation. This
wouldn't be an issue in tradition Berber or even Arabic construction
where, for the former it's underground and for the latter it's solid
walls. But thin, hollow walls with single-paned windows don't keep in
the heat, nor will they keep it out come the summer...
