In preparation for an appearance on "Architecture in the Den" as @thearchitectscoach, the podcast host Lisa Raynes RIBA asked me for some background on Mongolian Yurts.
I found the Wikipedia article on Yurts to be a useful starting point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yurt, and the following further reading links are provided there, from Wikimedia images to an Encyclopedia entry and some 'expert tips'.
