A Rare Example of Sudano-Sahelian Architecture, where there are beautiful Deserts and Fertile forests
Sudan is a fertile forest region along the Sahelian
coast. Which are a beautiful area bordering the West African coast and the
Sudanese grasslands.
In this area, people build houses, palaces or mosques out
of large wooden or adobe plastic beams or logs that protrude from these
buildings. These beams also serve as scaffolding for work. These beams or
supports are built at intervals and the local inhabitants help to build them.
The Sodano-Sahelian style of construction dates back to about 250 BC. This is
where mudbrick architecture began.
The architecture in the coastal areas is very different
from the neighbouring Savanna region. Because the elderly farmers in Savannah
have built for themselves houses like the wealthy gentlemen in the city. They
have a cube-like design, with roofs on top of roofs. Such constructed buildings
are made for the representatives of special, religious and political, upper-class
people, and merchants. In villages, this building is in the form of a flat.
While in cities, these buildings are palace-like. There are also beautiful
mosques of similar architecture.
When the Shaolin kingdoms were conquered here, the area
had separate palaces for wealthy families and hut-style houses for poor
families. There were no Sodano-Sahelian buildings here. Such buildings were
constructed here. Sodano-Sahelian style buildings are very common around Muslim
communities as there are four different groups living here. Mosques are made
very beautiful here. Here the buildings are also made beautifully. The Sodano-Sahelian
edifices are larger at the bottom and smaller towards the top. From which the
beams come out and they enter from one room to another. It means "room by
room". But the roofs get smaller upwards. A cube is formed on top of the
outer wall after a certain distance. Most of the mosques here are beautiful.
The remaining contiguous areas share the borders of both Nigeria and Niger. These
buildings are painted white or black on the inside side, while the outside is
any colour above the beams. Which makes these buildings even more beautiful.
If you also want to see such historical buildings, then
it is very comfortable to go here.
