摘　　要：Called“case obus”,large huts made of sun dried clay mud stand as undeniable proof of the strength and architectural creativity of the Mousgoum people.These form a unique,picturesque landscape in terms of architecture.In addition to the striking character of these conical huts,the decorative geometric attributes go beyond the simple purpose of exterior embellishment and never cease to fascinate visitors.These huts are designed to provide comfortable living space in the face of harsh and changing weather,which includes good ventilation.This typical Cameroonian habitat is considered an excellent alternative to cement and is an important part of the country’s cultural heritage.
