Sumerian Buildings

The Sumerians made their homes with bundles of reed at first but then turned to sun-dried clay bricks.
The homes were very close together and they had no proper ventilation. There was a garden in the center of the U-shaped home and that is where the Sumerians stayed most of the day, because the inside of the home was damp and dark. Stone buildings were not erected due to a lack of that resource in the area.
Excavations suggest that the interior of these homes were white-washed.
Other types of buildings that the Sumerians had to build were the Ziggurats, the Sumerians’ temples. They were made of bricks also. They were large triangular buildings.
