Mud and stud is a building technique that can be traced back to Lincolnshire county along the east coast of England. Archaeologists think that British colonists in Jamestown, Virginia used mud and stud to construct the original James Fort in the early 1600s.
Features of Mud and Stud Architecture:
* Frame constructed from upright forked logs with cross beams
* Walls filled with mud and clay
* Roof thatched with leaves or, later, tree bark
* Wooden chimney lined with clay to prevent fire
The other name I can call this is:
Wattle and daub (or wattle-and-daub)
that is a building material used for making walls, in which a woven lattice of wooden strips called wattle is daubed with a sticky material usually made of some combination of wet soil, clay, sand, animal dung and straw. Wattle and daub has been used for at least 6,000 years, and is still an important construction material in many parts of the world. Many historic buildings include wattle and daub construction, and the technique is becoming popular again in more developed areas as a low-impact sustainable building techniqu
This method of construction is used in Africa with great success
in the rural areas. Sticks of a very unique strength are cut
from the village and woven in lattice pattern then dabbed with
clay or mud. This system is to my opinion is better and durable
than sun dried mud.
