    I love this. I love seeing Middle East and Africa returning to traditional mud building. It’s right for the climate, and more beautiful than western buildings

    I've always wanted to build with mud. I'm 54 and thought I'm too old to start now. This has given me new inspiration ❤

    I'm glad to see there is someone in Jordan advancing the cause of returning to traditional architecture and materials for the good of the Earth and to fill the lack of affordable housing. I've seen people from India, Saudi Arabia, several European countries, Australia, New Zealand, and US (may have missed some), and it's really encouraging. I'm reading " Architecture for the Poor" by F. Hassan right now, telling of his efforts to do the same in Egypt more than 50 years ago, and it's quite a story. Maybe the time has finally come that we can refuse to pass on the burden of working for housing most of our lives.

      You can use burlap, but to avoid having gaps between bags, you would probably have to sew them yourself.

      These houses last longer than conventional (commercialized) buildings. This isn't just a pile of dirt, it's much more technical than that.
