Amazing clay houses of Obos Musgum people, Cameroon
在喀麥隆Obos Musgum人的驚人泥土房

Musgum mud huts or Musgum dwelling units are traditional domestic structures built
of mud by the ethnic Musgum people in the Maga sub-division, Mayo-Danay division,
Far North Province in Cameroon. (Musgum also is spelled as Moosgoum.)
The dwellings were built in a variety of shapes,
such as tall domed or conical dwellings or huts,
some with a reverse-V shape, and others with geometric designs.
Musgum泥屋或是Musgum住宅單位都是喀麥隆國內傳統結構建築,
這裡的住宅建於各種形狀,
如高大的圓頂或圓錐形住宅或木屋,
有一些反向V形或其他幾何設計。

Musgums are an example of "earth architecture". Of simple design, they are constructed of mud,
thatch, and water by local residents using few tools. Resembling the shape of beehives or shells,
they are also known as "cases obos".They are adobe structures,a variant of cob,
and are in the reverse catenary arch form, which can bear maximum weight with the minimum use of building materials
.
The dwellings also are described as "beehive type" because of their dome shape.
They are considered to be an important architectural style of Cameroon, although not in fashion in the present day.
Musgums是“土建築”的一個例子。設計簡單,
當地居民利用泥土、茅草和水組成他們使用的工具。
住宅類似蜂箱或砲彈的形狀,
它們也被稱為”例obos”。
因為此住宅的圓頂形狀為”蜂窩式”。它們被認為是喀麥隆的一個重要建築風格。
