Mud Architecture Studies for Sustainable Buildings

Mud house Building model

In my studies on mud architecture for sustainable buildings and affordable homes, I decided to test out some of the materials I could find in the local area where I currently am.

I’m using a mix of laterite, sharp sand, stones and cement for this mud house building model.

Cement is not a natural building material. It is manufactured from a mix of things with lime.

I can’t find lime here, so I am using cement.

I also searched for clay. Couldn’t find any. Laterite + Clay + Stones/Sand is my focus.

The building model in the image is not entirely to scale but I’m using this to observe how each material mix reacts to the environment and the weather.

First lesson from experience, to build with mud, never build in rainy season. Use that period to gather all your materials.
