There are cob houses (made from mud straw and clay) in the UK older than the US… built in the 1400s

Also so many vernacular structures use ventilation for cooling properties! People knew how to make their homes comfortable, no matter what the local climate was.

Actually, we don’t care what anyone thinks anymore. It's really freeing. When you allow anyone to decide your worth you grant them power over your mindset.

The British housing we have now does keep cool in the heat to an extent but when it's cold... It's fook cold indoors too.

PanAfriWoke :

African architectural solutions is something I've always been proud of. When I get to build my house I'll use everything African just like our ancestors did
