"The Hausa, with their use of reinforced mud construction, have developed a sophisticated, almost modular, architectural technology (Moughtin). The house consists of rooms within or surrounding a courtyard or forming two or more courtyards. The complex is demarcated by a wall giving privacy and security to the family. The compound so formed contains the main social and economic unit, the simple or extended family. The form of the Hausa house has also been adapted to suit the privacy requirements of Islam. It is surrounded by a 3-4 m mud wall entered through one gateway." [Oliver P., 1998: Vernacular Architecture of the World. The Savanna Grasslands. Cambridge University Press].
