Once the homes of the Mongolian nomads, yurts are making a comeback in the 20th century. (Although, todays yurt homes have a few more modern conveniences than those skin and bone tents from the steppes.) Here are a few sites where you can buy yurt plans:
http://homepage.powerup.com.au/~edesign/yurtz/yurtpage1.htm -- Eco Design Sustainable Housing has yurt plans that range from $100-$400 depending on the size and whether they have one story or two.
http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/articles/yurt/ -- Want to build a yurt from scratch? This detailed article has information and sketches on the construction of yurts.
http://www.yurtliving.com/ -- This site doesn't offer plans, but it has information on yurt living (where you can buy yurt kits) and products you might find necessary (i.e. composting toilets!)
