‘My Village My Town’ a $2 billion mega plan to upgrade villages

Excellent thread. Mud houses are actually Excellent places to live. My Nephew, who is M Tech from IIT Chennai has built 2 mud houses in his ashram. They have longer life than cement houses and they are highly eco friendly to live in. If the houses are built keeping permaculture and vastu shastra in mind, it can be a bliss to live in.

I am planning to make one such small township of 3 to 5 acre with a pond, miyawaki forest , water harvesting system, Lots of fruit and timber trees etc. It will have landscape for seating and watching movie in open air theater. This is an excellent thread.

People here are constantly talking here of mud houses. I am asking you specifically what is this that you are referring to as the mud house?

- Is it called a mud house if the floor is built of mud/ clay?
- Alternately is it called a mud house if both the floor and walls are made of mud?

Please note that the floors of many rural houses are only made of mud/ clay because the soil is not suitable for walls. The walls need almost perfect CLAYEY SOIL. Otherwise, the walls cannot be protected from abrasion due to continuous rainfall.

My district Faridpur has more silty and sandy soil brought annually by the Padma. This is why there are no mud walls, but many of the floors are still made of clay.

However, the northern parts are different. I don't know the present condition but most rural houses were all made of clayey soil because this type of soil is more available in the Rajshahi Division.

It is made of mud and cow dung fully. Ceiling is done with bamboo and tiles made of mud.

I give you a better formula. Mix long paddy straws with the mud for the wall. It strengthens the wall so that clay chips do not fall down giving a longer life.

This is the way the Japanese built their clay walls a long time ago. Clayey materials stick together in this way.

Guys, watch a video that shows some mud houses in the Rajshahi Division because the soil there is unique and fit for constructing mud houses. Faridpur soil is silty, unfit as material for mud houses.

The northern part of BD has hard clayey soil suitable for mud houses. I lived in those places for many years and have seen many strong mud houses.
