There is one video I do watch on YouTube on 2 guys. They build fine structures from just local material gotten from the surrounding. There was one they built a resort with mode and palm leaves, made an underground bath house and use bamboo to connect water from a river nearby. Like those guys are just so artistic. I can't remember the name of the channel.

That's is not mud. it's a mixture of mud and some other building materials.

Fantastic.

This is how we would have been building our houses by now without the colonial invasion.

And do you know that you don't need AC or fans in mud-built houses?

There is a natural cooling effect it has.

That's an awesome piece of architecture.
Made of stabilized laterite-cement bricks which have a natural cooling system.

Building engineers and architects from Nigeria should be sent down to that location to understudy how it was achieved.

Places like Arizona, Texas and European countryside still use mud or clay bricks but expensive as you indicated.

Even modern houses everywhere still used mud or clay bricks on some or all parts of their houses. Most of the fireplaces use the mud or clay bricks.

They are expensive because the mud in brick are baked in oven instead of being left to dry outside.

There are also natural stone houses but expensive. It boils down to using local materials instead of importing far more expensive materials from outside. Indeed marbles and others are available locally.

But builders would quote imported and local materials to you as if you can tell the difference.

Baked clay bricks are actually more durable than the normal more, but also a bit expensive.

Hard to believe.

Because mud houses usually have cracks and vents on the walls.

But I believe this was mixed with cement to hold it firm.


And, it's absolutely beautiful.

Would pass for a tourist attraction.
Mud with cement still cracks. What stops cracking is addition of fiberous material like chopped straw, rice bran or saw dust etc.
