The architecture of Mumuila houses (from southern Angola) is characterized by its simplicity and adaptation to the semi-arid environment.These dwellings are built primarily with wood, branches, and mud, materials found in the area.The structures are circular or oval, with a framework made of interwoven logs and poles. The roof is conical and thatched, which helps keep the interior cool during the day and warm at night. #inspirationofafrica | Quim Fàbregas
