Describe the architecture you saw. The architecture of the Asmat comprises stilt houses. They speak volumes to concerns which people have who live in low-lying areas by the sea. I'm especially fond of a house I saw for widowers and unmarried men with an intricately carved system of stilts supporting it. This structure is called a long house. What happens when you visit the villages? When the residents know we're coming they prepare welcome rituals in full traditional costume along with HYLAND Credit: Anna Galtarossa
