Abstract
The typical architecture which presents the regional characteristics, has been undergoing a change mostly influenced by the rapid increase of the infrastructure development. This report presents the real aspect of the typical buildings in Tibet, where for buildings the natural material such as granite, wood and AGATU have been used to construct the living space of grid of 2 meters. The tibetan furniture, specially those named KADIAN used for chair in the same time for bed, has been considered to have close connection with such typical buildings for human life.
