wattle and daub structures

Wattle and daub is an ancient building technique where a framework of woven wooden strips (wattle) is covered with a mixture of clay, soil, straw, and other materials (daub) to create walls. The wattle provides structural support, while the daub acts as a filling and weatherproofing layer. This method was widely used for centuries because it used local materials and was relatively easy to construct. The result is a sturdy, breathable wall that helps regulate indoor temperature and humidity, making it a sustainable and effective building method in traditional construction.
