Mud-brick Structures

Mud-brick structures are buildings made from bricks formed by mixing mud, clay, and straw, then drying them in the sun or baking them in a kiln. These bricks are stacked together to create walls, offering insulation and durability in many climates. Historically, mud-bricks have been used for thousands of years due to their cost-effectiveness and availability, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. They are environmentally friendly, as they utilize natural materials, and can be constructed using simple tools, making them accessible for communities without advanced building technology.
