A Little Infomation On MudBricks

Mudbrick or Adobe is a natural building made from sand, clay, manure and water, with some kind of fibrous or organic material such as sticks or straw. (In our Mudbricks we included dry grass clippings.) This mixture is then shaped into bricks using frames andthen dried in the sun.




Buildings made from Mudbricks are extremely durable and account for some of the oldest buildings on earth.




In hot climates buildings built with mudbricks tend to keep cooler than other buildings made from wood. They are fantastic insulators from the outside temperature.

Final Day











Overall the wall was constructed quite well being able to withstand the water being pumped at differents pressures. It was a lengthy process however we did discover that once the mubrick wall was constructed and hardened, little damage was done. Here are a few more photos that have been taken of the final completion of the wall.
