African Traditional Architecture
United States
Приєднався 12 тра 2020
In the recent past I have become increasingly fascinated by African cultures, traditions, and heritage. I think part of that that has been due to my extensive travel across Africa and my move to the US which has made me take a look in the mirror and forced me to ask myself hard questions about self identity, culture and ultimately make question where myself worth lies.
As I seek to navigate this journey and gather the courage to face the reality I have been unaware of or literally trying to ignore & run away from, I can't help but feel the need to document my journey and hope to build a village where we can have deep conversations about our culture and traditions.

For the longest time I have wondered and been confused as to why most African traditional homes and architecture in general did not have windows.

There were humans before electricity existed? I highly doubt that.
Are there any statistics to show how mud houses of ANY KIND DO IN more.variable climate.zones

What are the materials. This style with the dome will be excellent for soaring temperatures
You reaslised back in the day before they called land masses continents that afric was only a country to rhe went of that land and that there were other countries on that land that werent darn brown or medium brown people, right. Why us darker shade brown people were deceived to think there werent other shades and lighter living there.
Nubian pyramids is the first thing that comes to my mind
Is the floor covering in the mosque carved into a rammed earth floor or is it some kind of intricate woven floor covering or ceramic? Interesting video, thanks
Wow! Did they invent air, too?
Wow, you are pained! Its just too funny to read these comments. I try to educate, but I have come to realize and share an African perspective of things but its funny how many none Africans are pained when the narrative doesn't fit the typical stereotypes.
@@mudhouses yeah, "Africans invented..." has no political or racial spin at all, huh? I don't think you "try to educate." I think you try to propagandize, divide, and incite.
The Mousgoum homes of Cameroon are exquisite! The patterns on the clay exterior is striking ⭐️ I would love to visit one, feel the coolth
Beautiful!!
Incredibly interesting! Thank you.
Preach. This is the best way to build houses. So it’s important to use the right language. Thank you for this video.
Native houses
Mud? Are you serious?🤦🏾
Hello, you're doing wonderful work and I would add this: turn away from what others are and have said and just focus on your work. Your supporters don't care about the negative things, past nor present... Nope. 😊
Beautifully said, thank you so much for the encouragement. Its fascinating how many negative comments I get from none Africans about the truth I share related to African facts on housing. Many are quick to dismiss some of the most ingenious inventions because they don't fit or promote their narrative.
@mudhouses people criticize what they don't "yet" understand but criticism itself is just unsolicited feedback that may or may not be true; consider it, only for that purpose and also for entertainment. 😃
@@mudhouses do you have anything set up to receive donations, grants, gifts, or otherwise? I would support your work if you do or did. ~Eric.
Thank you for this invaluable gem. It feels like discovering a diamond after digging deep and deep. I truly appreciate this precious information. U got a subscriber..
All African curios are vodoo generated It's not art, it is demonic. This has suppressed African progress
Madam Show me your house photo So y dint u go traditional?
With hole in roof won't rain water flood the inside? Curious
The problem society has is that now they are fighting big businesses (Electrical, Water, Nuclear, Oil companies) who are fostering the incorrect building codes to keep us locked into “unnatural manners” of air conditioning or rather cooling management of our homes. In hotter climates thicker walled structures with doubled roofs or thicker roofed homes to keep the heat out has always worked best. Even the lighting is great needing no power during a daylight hours.
Also, I have been longing to purchase some remote landscape here in the states where i can build and develop an All-Natural village of African and eastern and Primordial Dwellings using earth, mud, bricks, grass/straw, etc, and have being completely Off-The-Grid, yet having many current-day conveniences, such as electricity, running water, indoor AND outdoor kitchen facilities, but yet have NO UTILITY BILLS - energy directly from Nature and The Elements! I'll get there soon enough, but it's the architecture of Ancient African Dwellings that I'll be using. Grass & Earthen Domes truly inspire me. There are too many techniques to choose from that will work to construct a very beautiful and comfortable home space. I can hardly wait! Thank you again for your presentations! Ahsante sana. Ninakushukuru!
😂 Love and appreciate your efforts to present The Truth to Our People! Watched several of your presentations in a row now! I truly appreciate having a Sistah (or Brotha) bringing forth this knowledge and wisdom! Too many Africans worldwide have completely forgotten this wisdom. I AM an African born and raised in the states (the citadel of western lies and African ignorance) and I see and know the need for us to revisit and Resurrect our dwelling architectures, using earth, mud, brick, stones, grass-thatched, and plant poles. This western grid is a joke and an outright abomination to The Natural World and True Community. Thanks again Sistah! Ahsante sana!
Indians are actually going into mud architecture a lot They have amaying case studies that can be borrowed
❤❤❤
Love this video You have a beautiful voice!
You should govern a country as President. ❤
I imagine these manifest orgone energy or something similar especially since food lasts longer
blah, blah,, blah...how cold is in those mud huts?
Yes the word is very deceptive and it just serves to reinforce feigned superiority. Just looking at the photos I can smell the sweet earthy tones and feel the coolness. As a journeyman Carpenter I've always referred to them as round homes. I always wanted a community with them here in the States.

New subscriber here. Much love from America, where we are a mixture of you all plus the whole world! Africa must rise!
As usual. In such a hurry to prove how advanced Africa is and how they don't need other people but you fail to mention this mind-blowing technology of there's that "was in use before computers even" was in use thousands of years ago in the middle east. Just a hop skip and jump from Africa. Hmm....wonder where they got the idea to "invent" this technology. 🙄
I saw a youtube video where a lady was making homes, I think in Ghana out of red clay. These homes were modern and very nice. I would buy one if I lived there.
Same continent that never invented the wheel? I'm just kidding, enjoy your mud huts.
We wuz hvac technicians and sheeit😂
Doubt
What an interesting subject! In the middle east people also used natural processes to cool houses. They even found out how to make natural refrigerator cellars.
is here anybody to talk with ? I am deeply into bionic architecture in Greece (of course, fighting with local building authorities)
Random fact... Africa had electricity in the 1700's!
Your thesis is absurd lady.
Would like to see this aid in sustainable building. Might as well.
Are there books or websites that show these. Greatful for the algorithm. Would be helpful to find more info.
Agreed overall. If you live in a hot environment, as global warming worsens, to make the decision to depend entirely upon a reliable power grid and machinery to cool your home is, frankly, SUICIDE. You need thick EARTHEN walls, period. Concrete can work but is more expensive. Hempcrete or straw walls require wood/bamboo framing, but also might work if you have sustainable forests nearby. The key is THICK walls; we're talking 10" or more. Alternatively, build partially or entirely UNDERGROUND. I've been to Delhi in the summer. Most buildings are relying on A/C. Then they have a powergrid problem so there are power cuts daily then everyone fires up their generators and now you have more smog and more problems with heat. It's madness. And don't forget, A/C units generate heat! So you are just creating MORE heat collectively, in the environs, which forces the A/C unit to work even HARDER. And now people are DYING in Delhi because of the local urban hotspot they are creating via terrible urban design and terrible modern architectural design..
Clic bait. That is not air conditioning. Maybe air circulation. And that wasnt new when they started building the type of shacks they live in.

I really love it, thank you it's very informative, actually I was myself wondering about the conic shape and searching about it, and the very experiment of apple under a hemisphere crossed my mind before I watch your video
I've been following you since the beginning of the year (my other account, this is a new one), and I'm glad that you're back!!
