Aerial view of a group of compounds of an extended family from the village of Akula, where the externalized house model and its spatial organization in a sunny area and a shaded area under the trees can be perfectly appreciated. Next to them, in the lower right corner of the image, we can see the large tin roof of the new evangelical church installed in the village.
