This research looks at if mud brick houses can be a good alternative to temporary shelters, using a project in war-torn northern Syria as an example. It explores if these houses are sustainable, cost-effective, fit local culture, create jobs, and provide safety. The study suggests mud brick houses could be a better option than tents or concrete houses in emergencies.
