I’ve always been fascinated by how differently we build homes across the globe. As a Brazilian, seeing entire neighborhoods made of timber in the US was a massive culture shock. I made a deep dive into the historical and economic reasons why the US stick-frame system actually makes sense (and why it's not just about being 'cheap').

The video is originally in Portuguese but I've added a full English dub for you guys! I'll leave the link in the comments below. Let's discuss! 🏗️🇺🇸

I’ve always been fascinated by how the available resources and geography of a country dictate its skyline. In Brazil, wood-frame houses are almost non-existent, while in the US, masonry is often reserved for commercial buildings or high-end luxury.

I decided to analyze the factors behind this: Forest availability, humidity levels, soil types, and even historical urban planning. It’s a massive contrast between North and South America.

What do you think is the biggest factor? Is it purely historical, or does the local geography make masonry impractical in most of the US?

I've put together a video with a side-by-side comparison of the construction sites and the environmental impact of both. I'll leave it in the first comment for those who want to dive deeper into the data!
