The Mongolian yurt is the home of the shepherds who live on the desert. The shepherds always travel across the desert and the steppe, so their yurts will travel will them, this leads the yurts to be very easy to be constructed and deassembled, it takes about 2 hours to construct one yurt, and they can be carried by camels or jaks.
This is the structural system of the yurt. It is a circular wooden frame. But instead of columns to support the walls, they use lattice wall frames, and the column is used in the middle of the yurt to support the whole thing.
Adding a layer of felt above the lattice frame.
