Collective intelligence and architecture in south-east Asia

There are three important stages in the development of the architecture: first the builder refers to a model inscribed in the common memory of his human group, second the builder confronted with a difficulty reacts with the collective intelligence of his group, third the builder is apt to anticipate the architecture finished. Nobody can confuse a Basque house with a Swiss chalet, these two constructions are issued from the common memory of these two human groups but the chalets are often built on the slope of a montain, then the common intelligence of the Swiss adapts their model to the topographical conditions and they act always the same way.
