Shagun Singh was a corporate business head. She quit her job in 2015 and moved to Nainital in Uttarakhand. She was looking for a place where she can build a home with her own hands. The idea was to create a magical place where one can grow food, where there is energy, water, and to live as holistically as possible. She found a barren piece of land in Mahrora, a village close to Nainital. Later she started making mud houses and founded a training centre called Geeli Mitti. People from different parts of the world come and learn different mud construction techniques here. She emphasizes on the importance of mud over cement.

When I was a child I saw a mud house being "torn down" by a bulldozer. I thought it would just fall over. But it was VERY strong. Stronger than any brick or mortar. It did not crack or crumble. It literally had to busted up with repeated blows from the equipment. As a kid, it seemed strange that something so durable was discarded in this way. I never forgot how strong the walls of that house were.

Here in brazilian northeast there's a cultura of mud houses (casas de taipa, with sticks and mud, and it's VERY fresh in day light). During the dutch domain, around 1625, the fortresses here were made with this tecnology. The result: Cannon balls used to get trapped in It and the wall could be remade in less than one day. Nothing like know the environment 😏

My grandfather's close to 50 yr old house is built out of laterite mud (not bricks) & wooden beams. Its still standing strong. The house does not have a a typical foundation. The roof is tiles made of clay. This house located on the western coast of India has tolerated torrential monsoons and strong sea winds. It has needed some plastering on the exterior surfaces in the recent past but the house is in good shape. Since no cement is used, the house remains very cool inside even in harsh summers . I wish more people could build such cheap & eco friendly houses

The house had a polished cement floor with cow hides. He built an incinerator to completely disintegrate any waste that wasnt recycled. Sustainable farming was the lifeblood of the ranch. A heat sink kept the house warm in the winter. It is fascinating.

Mud homes where used by my grandparents in Trinidad. They must have brought their building knowledge from India. I remember it been cool and they maintained it with cow manure. Hard work but like she implied they were made to feel working in the cities and concert homes equaled success. I preferred their success but it was with backbreaking work. They planted their own rice and raised chickens. They worked so hard but they didn’t realize they had it right.... working for themselves and knowing where their food came from.

I was born in a rural area in the U.S. and lived there for the first 8 years of my life. My father was raised on a small farm, but after serving in WWII he moved to the city where he met my mother. They decided to move back to the countryside to raise their family. Unfortunately though, he moved me and 2 of my siblings (the 3 youngest) to the city. So, I've lived in the city almost my entire life, until a year and a half ago. Now I live in a small town. But, for the last 4 years, I've been researching alternative housing & energy, off-grid living, even primitive construction & living. So, everything you are saying is exactly my sentiments as well. But, I'm not able to break loose at this time because of debt I owe. This entire system is like a trap to keep you under the governments subjection. This system is at war against mankind and nature, and I have learned to hate it.

@@chipwalter4490 Sir, the concrete that you are referring to, also known as "Roman Concrete" is altogether an entirely different material from the concrete that we use today. Roman Concrete is primarily made up of volcanic ash (pozzolona) and lime, while the concrete that we use today is made up of Portland cement, sand and aggregate. Concrete, by definition, is a mixture of an aggregate/s and a binder. As we can see, Roman concrete is made of naturally occurring materials and does not harm the environment in any way, either during its production or after the end its useful life. Modern concrete, on the other hand does harms the environment, both during its production stage and after the end of its useful life ( which, well, is quite short!). So, i guess, it is wise to move away from concrete (of course, the modern one!) wherever we can and adopt construction techniques that are environment friendly and in harmony with nature.

Love this. At the end, you stopped just short of making this point: there are ruins, temples, etc. Throughout the world that were not made of stone that have been standing for hundreds of years. Today's modern construction falls apart in decades without maintenance. And of course stone work thousands of years old exists all over the world, too. Modern systems are all designed to fail to keep people spending money to fix or replace, keeping us "slaves" just as you said. I think society is reaching a critical mass of being fed up with this situation, which is wonderful. Many thanks to you for following your intuition and leading others to theirs.

Here in South Africa mud homes are fading away. Our traditional people built their homes from mud and some in their rural or farm or family homes still do so. We do have our people who make mud bricks as a source of income however it's practise and production is by the less fortunate for the less fortunate. The traditional homes must have a rondavel made of mud walls and thatched roofs. It's recognizable to the ancestors and built in their honour. It's sad however that some people are replacing the mud and thatch with cement bricks and tiled roofs with maintaining the rondavel shape. I personally love the organic and nourishing environment having being born in the Kwa-Zulu Natal Midlands now living in the city of Durban. There's nothing like Mother Nature's loving nurturing. It's the perfect gift from God.

While this is a good initiative, we should also think about some limitations of mud houses scientifically and how we overcome them - 1. Mud has a low tensile strength and comes apart easily during rains. So houses are not sustainable and need constant repair. We had this problem in our ancestral village house too. 2. Mud walls are susceptible to rodents and thieves - This is not ideal for cities. Mud houses are fine for houses that do not have costly items like TV, Refridgerator, Sofa, Laptop etc 3. Site location should be carefully chosen, else mud house is prone to get damaged if a tree falls or a storm hits. Iron+Concrete can still bear it. 4. Mud building materials should be upgraded with latest waterproof technology for real-world use in today's cities or even villages. Villagers do not have enough money to build and rebuild houses. So technology should be ubiquitous. 5. Iron + concrete structures are not entirely useless. Ofcourse they are more stronger but they are a cost on the environment. 6. Bricks are also an advanced form of mud and evolved due to human experiences over centuries. So technically they are also mud houses. 7. Those who have two houses, one of mud and other of concrete can promote mud houses. For those who can afford only one house, a concrete house gives more security. 8. Mud houses should give true security and sustainability that is better than or equivalent to concrete houses with the use of appropriate building material and technology.

There is an old method called Rammed earth technique if you build something with it the structure would probably last for at least 1000 years and it's basic material is clay. Go search it on you tube now.

the limitations you pointed are very practical. the sustainability of a mud house depends on the region and climate. we had mud houses in my place (lahaul spiti) for centuries because here it snows abundantly but very less rain and mud houses traps heat very well. mud houses are awesome but needs to be built strategically according to the region.

We've had cement since at least ancient Rome. I think the issue is more "standardized living". Builders learn a certain method of construction with the materials they are used to, then over time, everyone starts making things the same way regardless of whether or not it's the best option or appropriate for the setting. The cookie-cutter houses we see today proliferate because they're relatively straightforward and don't require a lot of thought.

So tangible and yet so intangible to explain. Only those who have experienced the instant 'transformation by mud' can truly get it :) And that's why our focus is on encouraging schools, colleges, corporates to come and connect with this 'magic' - therein, with each touched soul, the world gets more and more beautiful.

Also I want to learn how to use these methods to build a home that can withstand freezing cold temperatures and hot dry summers. In the winter its -20°c, and summer it's 30°c here in eastern part of North America.

My baba’s ‘gau ko ghar’ in the hills of Nepal was built about if not more than a hundred years ago out of mud and is still standing strong and proud. His house in Kathmandu made of cement that’s only about forty years has been crumbling down for years now. It’s so sad how the city dwellers look down upon those from the villages and up until recent years I had been embarrassed to show any pictures of the mud house that is so fantastically situated right next to a running stream. I remember visiting there as a child and spending most of our time outdoors climbing trees, playing in the streams, feeding the animals and eating fruits and honey that were harvested just a minute ago. That mud house is small inside, just enough to sleep and take shelter into during the evenings and mealtimes. But it used to house not only the family, but also all the visitors and passerby’s. Today I live in a big cement house, have decorated it with expensive but useless pieces that I collected from different places and hardly leave my house cos it’s so much work to maintain it even with a househelp. And man it’s cold inside in the winters and hot in the summers. Luckily it’s a rented house as I’m an expat overseas, but I’ve started to slowly get rid of my things, so that one day when I build my own regenerative home, I don’t bring all that junk into it. 🙏🏼
