Abstract

Mud architecture has played a crucial role in shaping human settlements in arid regions, offering sustainable and durable solutions for centuries. This study explores the historical evolution of mud architecture, highlighting its adaptability to extreme climatic conditions and its significance in preserving cultural heritage. The paper examines traditional construction techniques, the environmental benefits of mud as a building material, and its potential for contemporary sustainable development. The discussion extends to the durability and maintenance challenges of mud structures and their innovative applications in modern architectural design. By analyzing historical and modern examples, this research emphasizes the necessity of integrating traditional wisdom with contemporary advancements to enhance architectural sustainability. The findings underscore the importance of rediscovering mud architecture as an eco-friendly and energy-efficient alternative to modern construction materials, especially in the context of climate change and resource conservation.
