Wow, very similar to the indigenous mud houses my family would have. They’re also called “adobe” houses in mexico😊 so cool to see how people from Africa have mud houses too! Indigenous people are so talented from everywhere. So many different designs and architectures, just so beautiful and detailed. It’s so important to upload videos like this to show how we were all advanced in different and similar ways. We had so much knowledge, art, and history that they took from us. From a Indigenous Mexican/Native American, I’m giving all my love and support to Indigenous Africans and black people. Spread your knowledge and culture wide, the world needs to hear more from us. We’re so smart and creative. Be forever proud of your culture. We need western education to teach OUR science.
A unique subject that is rarely discussed. Thank you! We as Africans have been unfortunately conditioned to erroneously believe that our ways are primitive. Sadly we just accept. Please continue spreading the word!
The coloniser destroyed our architecture and imposed his that we are stuck with today. There's need to decolonise architecture, in this fresh way of thanking
I think if Africans can make myd houses which look as smooth and modern as the brick and mortar homes people will be more drawn to it. I am actually taking a course on how to build mud/cob homes.
I am am so happy for this video. For years I have always wondered why Africans abandoned their tradional architecture for the ugly European standards. Thank God for you and those who are returning to the traditional designs which are so much more beautiful and efficient. Blessings to you
Mud houses are cooler in hot season. They are always dry because they absorb moisture in the atmosphere. But, these walls cannot be exposed to direct rain. We may improve the design and construction for those in rain forest areas.
You are as right as right can be. Your traditional buildings as well as having all the sustainability virtues are beautiful and stylish and homely. The women have this gift from their ancestors that they have learned and can teach
As always very throught provoking monologue, alway advancing the discussion of of African world aesthetics. Marcus Mosiah Oreillus Garvey jr., Kwame Nkrumah and so many more that one hundred thousand years is scarcely enough time to list all of our Ancestors; know this Siater, that your foremothers are smilingly at you. Never what you are doing, it isa Devine calling, thank you for answering it. ❤
I find this subject interesting, especially at this time!. While our family right now here in the west, is going to have to shell out more money to remove the lead out of one of our older family properties we own!. This mudbrick technology is chic, traditional, cultural, and should be expanded upon!.❤️✊🏾😁💯
Those images are absolutlely beautiful! That is real architecture.. the adaptation of natural resources and materials to be used for shelter in a harmonic and aesthetic manner.. Dont fall into "modern" antienvironmental materials.. specially if you dont need them. Keep the tradition going, if you lose the knowledge, all this beautiful forms, engineering and architecture will be lost too. Adobe houses are still used today.. have been reinvented and enhanced in south america (as an example of traditional construction). This "mud" houses look fabulous.. and I bet are fresher and more durable than houses with modern materials (cardboard, plastic, and toxic paint)..
Am Going to find some one to help me build this on my plot in my village ❤I know if I succeed A lot of people in my community will run away from this expensive buildings ✔️ Thanks so much I will search more on it.
These are beautiful. Eco homes are the future. Why wouldnt we love our peoples own individual architecture!? I would love to do anything pertaining to this. And I want Eco homes for my homes as I transition
I hope I can inspire one or two people or more to go back to seeking indigenous knowledge. I have been trying to connect with other channels that actually do different types of traditional building and my hope is in the future we can record a video on a step-by-step process of starting to build your indigenous African home, and how one can potentially make upgrades. It takes a lot of research but I am hopeful I will have more information soon.
@@mudhouses Incorporating Eco Architecture with modern day smart technology. Keep at it! This is what I also love as well. We are ahead of our time, that's why its good to start now
@@universalsuccess3776they are the future but not this kind. Take a look at the most ecological homes built in the world. They tend to be in western/developed countries. It’s mad.
@@sladewilson377did you try one of those, in my country my husband family has one compound of 30 muds houses, a village in the village and all the people live in those houses, you have different areas, for different fonctions and when a couple married, the husband modified the compound to fit the new wife because she needs her own kitchen,own granary and own house(specifically if she is in a polygamy marriage) , in this village they have all the modern appliances but they are just new tools
Have you noticed in a lot of the futuristic movies that the people live in mud houses and not modern style houses? It seems that our ancestors figured it out thousands of years ago that mud was the perfect building material. Even the oldest building on earth is made of of mud and straw (the step pyramid of Djoser). What amazes me about mud construction is that it’s bulletproof, sound resistant, cooler than the outside temperature and it’s economical. It puzzles me why African nations follow behind westerners when we have such highly innovative construction methods that work perfectly with our environment. I was amazed by the strength of termite mounds and how they keep the temperature inside at 86 degrees even if it’s over 100 degrees outside and the structure is entirely made of mud clay. Also it’s so affordable that everyone can have a home and no one will be homeless. These building methods need to be introduced in grade school for our children so they will have mastered it by adulthood. Hopefully these governments will see the light and reintroduce these ancient building methods to end homelessness. Imagine integrating modern technology like lights and plumbing with some modern materials to make a environmentally sustainable eco home, the skies the limit.
I love the mud houses. There are structurally sound, insulated, economical, and culturally diverse. I am thinking that with a 3D home printer a whole lot of interest could be revitalized in these types of structures. Sign me up. My Pinterest pages are full of ideas😊
Thank you so very much for your work. You are the answer to the question I had not really formulated but I so agree with you. I am planning to return to Africa in the next couple of months and all of this is such inspiration for me. 🦄🦓🦄🦓
The traditional houses has an ability to last longer. Are natural cooler inside because its made out of mud (red clay) in a hot enviroment. Honestly its more like clay then mud. Where I'm from we call that red clay. Not mud.
I am absolutely 💯 % with you on that especially Afurika it's tropical with rains they are going to steal that and modify it and sell it back to us as they are used to

Until We (Afrikans) return to Our Traditional Ways, in all things, (Cultural, Political/Governance, Spirituality, Socialization, Architecture, Science and Arts) We will always have the frame of mind to think like Our Traditional and Historical enemies (euraisans), even the languages We speak teaches Us to communicate in the ways of Our enemy. From Our enemies names and foods We eat works against Our best interests. Just think about it, We are just about the only People who does this. We have to return to the source of Our Ancestors Traditional Cultural and Spiritual Systems.
You can email me worldculturelove@gmail.com, would love to connect and chat with you. I have read a lot about his work, and also was in the process of doing a video about him, just haven't gotten around to finishing it yet.
I have an interest in African architecture, but so far I have been disappointed in the educational value of your videos. Since there is such a small amount of videos on the subject here on UA-cam I have decided to watch all of your videos. At least this video compilation had a slightly wider range of designs. Did you make any videos on the pros and cons of the various designs, maybe based on the regions that they are located in? Do you have any links to any other further field work that you yourself have conducted, maybe in relation to your architectural studies? I couldn’t quite tell from these videos if you were just an enthusiast, or a student in a related field of study , or if you were a professional in the field of architecture.
How do they withstand the elements? Meaning rain? Storms? Could they withstand a snowstorm? If they can stand well I don’t see why this isn’t used even here in western society.
ua-cam.com/video/jAHeoh4TuCM/v-deo.html Here, I'm putting down this link to shiw how already architects are employing local skills and methods for new buildings
The Western way of life is CLEARLY NOT the best for mankind, driving home prices to oblivion to where few can afford them, weather disasters come along causing massive price hikes to rebuild, driving insurance prices through the roof…but these beauties to live in are SUSTAINABLE and AFFORDABLE, easy rebuilding and light on the pocket and environment!!!❤❤❤
Aren't bricks made from clay thre is no problem with mud houses I find them unique and beautiful it would be better to build mud houses and get rid of all the slums
I do have an instagram but I barely post anything there. It hard to balance multiple platforms with work and everything but I will start working on it soon

I've personally decided that after youth service I'm building a mud house even if it's just a one bedroom flat. I'm not paying rent
thats a very good decision if you are serious
Very smart. Better to use the little money for money increasing business and live rent free in a mudhouse in order to accumulate wealth.

They can, they just dont.
Good thinking!
Great!!!!
@ivorobotnikt6090 they have a mentality problem
African architecture is timeless. Look at what archeology has found in Petra!
It's time for Africa to look again at its history. It's magnificent!
I am am so happy for this video. For years I have always wondered why Africans abandoned their tradional architecture for the ugly European standards. Thank God for you and those who are returning to the traditional designs which are so much more beautiful and efficient. Blessings to you
not only efficient and beautiful but also cheap
Its paramount that Africans return to our indigenous way of life that is at once sustainable and preserves our culture.
I couldn't agree more!
Primitiveness is not being eco friendly
Mud houses are cooler in hot season. They are always dry because they absorb moisture in the atmosphere. But, these walls cannot be exposed to direct rain. We may improve the design and construction for those in rain forest areas.
There are some examples of weather resistant mud brick they could be very useful for employing this in the modern world

I’ve always loved the African mud houses something special about it speaks to my heart soul 🥰

These mud houses are very common in indian villages
Subscribed to beautiful traditional architecture

it works with what you have instead of destroying all the things around you
I do believe if you add glass windows and modern lighting most mud houses look great.
Great content, great channel! Thank you
imagine we were uninturupted imagine what our cities would look like. We should bring this back.
The traditional houses has an ability to last longer. Are natural cooler inside because its made out of mud (red clay) in a hot enviroment. Honestly its more like clay then mud. Where I'm from we call that red clay. Not mud.
Beautiful
High thermal value (mud home), accessible and sustainable with a unique style that is first rate!
Meaningful video
Beautiful,id love to learn to build mud homes
Lets build the institutions and scale it across africa,I'll put my money where my mouth is
Mud houses is the way of the future.
I am absolutely 💯 % with you on that especially Afurika it's tropical with rains they are going to steal that and modify it and sell it back to us as they are used to
Would like to see this aid in sustainable building. Might as well.

Great content. Why are you not monetized?
Are you staying mud is a sustainable practical and eco friendly material,how would it meet building requirements?
It's the natural solution.
Adobe and mud houses.
Lots of Africans in belize build some houses here
How do they withstand the elements? Meaning rain? Storms? Could they withstand a snowstorm? If they can stand well I don’t see why this isn’t used even here in western society.
If I had some land, I'd have one built for me.

😂😂 western countries rank the highest for EPI index. There is nothing environmentally friendly about primitive lifestyles
Mud huts and living like savages is not eco friendly.
Stop romanticising ancient lifestyles
So why aren’t African nations on top of the EPI index?
Will these houses survive if there is a continuous rain for 1 week?
Timbuktu is still standing.. Giza Pyramids are still standing... 🙃
@@livingfaith9189exactly. After thousands of years
Name one person who has said that mud houses are primitive
Maybe don’t let the people around you make claims without having any evidence to back it up if you don’t want people to call a culture primitive.
But I know this is tech based propaganda I am not blind.
Aren't bricks made from clay thre is no problem with mud houses I find them unique and beautiful it would be better to build mud houses and get rid of all the slums
Madam stop discussing lead us no where register a school teaching it, and talk about how we can register learn and spread that knowledge and culture
They teach in Burkina Faso. They need more schoolw
Fabulous Architecture made with Mud!🗽🏙🙏🏽💘
