This House in Rural India Is Actually a Bridge — and It’s Covered in Scales

A house in rural Rajasthan solves shelter and infrastructure with a single gesture—the building spans a dry riverbed like a bridge, lifting the home above seasonal flooding while creating a covered crossing for the community below. The exterior is clad in terracotta scales drawn from local craft tradition, giving the structure a living, textured skin. Architecture as dual infrastructure. Source: Yanko Design
