Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Porches and other things

[Sofistic (Sofistic]

Hi All:

There was a study I read some time ago, and I can't recall the source
information, but it had to do with a small village of people who lived in
huts that were placed so the openings all faced inward toward the center of
the village.  

When Western technology and competition was introduced to the villagers,
within a few years all the openings of the huts were facing outward, away
from the center of the village.

Does anyone recall the study, the author or the tribe being studied?
Thanks.
Barry
