Stilts (architecture)

http://dbpedia.org/resource/Stilts_(architecture) an entity of type: WikicatArchitecturalElements

Stilts are poles, posts or pillars used to allow a structure or building to stand at a distance above the ground or water. In flood plains, and on beaches or unstable ground, buildings are often constructed on stilts to protect them from damage by water, waves or shifting soil or sand. As these issues were commonly faced by many societies around the world, stilts have become synonymous with various places and cultures, particularly in South East Asia and Venice. rdf:langString
