Big lie from pit of hell, that house is not purely mud. I will give my reason as below 1. Mud can not withstand the tensional stress and axial force of that lintels window without reinforcement or iron bar. So how do you place iron rod inside mud if there is no cement 2. How do you erect mud to be straight without any uneven surface not possible. 3. That house actually as skeleton ( reinforcement for it to stand firm like that. The surface might look like mud , but what the op didn't know is that there are different substances to add to sand use in building to give that cray or mud like look while in actual sense it is make up sand mixed with cement with the cray like color. So that house is not mud. There are actually different soil with different color or physical appearance. So not every soil that has color is mud or clay.. even if the house is made of cray bricks, they still need reinforcement iron at those lintel or beam. The span of those beans can not stand without reinforcement in it. |

christejames: You should check our Francis Kere. Mud is an ideal material for building homes in our country, concrete has thermal properties that are not ideal for our weather. We should go back to using red clay bricks and screeding using engineered clay plaster. I believe the iron content is partially responsible for the colour of clay. 2 Likes |

christejames: You are 100% correct. You get to see that the most creative architectural designs you see in Lagos are the 'imported' designs from South Africa. 1 Like |

christejames:Not only the architectural students. What about our engineers? We have been using the same hollowed blocks to build for decades now. When there are more lighter, smaller but stronger blocks being used elsewhere. Most of the collapse building is because the load are too heavy. A lighter block could help reduce this as well. 1 Like |

Mud houses are some of the best. Another way people build houses in advanced countries that makes their houses so attractive compared to Africa is that they don't use smooth plastering for the outside walls of the building but rather use fancy blocks that make the bricklaying patterns revealing to the people. Also, the outside walls are not often painted with flashing colors but with colors that blend with the bricks, such as ashes colors. |

It is likelier than not that our ancestors far back enough built civilisations grander than that of the Egypt whose architectural and artistic findings and ownership in north Africa are now disputed between arabs and blacks. If the evidence for those ancient and indisputably African civilisation existed today we would not be fighting Arabs and the rest of the world for heritage of ancient Egypt. Africans would be so spoiled for choice we could dash them Egypt without a care. But we don't because we have nothing great enough to boast about. Why? Well because our ancestors built thire great civilisations out of mud. Mud did not endure long enough, time and weather washed it all away. And since we did not value permanent record keeping, we don't even have scripted evidence to show for it. Eh, i guess i'm saying mud would be great today, cost effective and ll that - but, ho-boy, did mud Bleep us up in the past... |
