Ode to mud is a celebration of traditional African architecture.

In several communities across the African continent, houses made with earthy materials including clay, raffia palm, dried grass amongst others have been in existence from time immemorial.

Growing up in the city meant that I rarely came across such buildings "thanks" to urbanization. However, when I began travelling round Nigeria in 2015, I started to see and appreciate the beauty, creativity and simplicity of traditional African architecture.

In recent wanderings across the continent, I have observed that while a vast majority of these houses are visually similar, the style, functionality and history of these houses differ.

This series is the first of many more that will highlight the various aesthetics elements of traditional African architecture.
