I have lived in a boarding school dorms built with mud for seven years. It was simply great.
There is a town in Pakistan called Shikarpur. It’s old town inner city still has several centuries old mud buildings which are two to three floors. I remember staying one night on the third floor of one such building which was visibly tilted but still standing. I wish someone can document those buildings before they are destroyed to build “modern” buildings.
