Construction Najat Habash
People of Bakhdida used composite materials for a long time in order to build their dwellings. Some of the earliest form of building was built with uncooked mud bricks embedded with straw. Good soil was chosen first to make the bricks
After construction, the house was plastered with a smooth mixture of mud and straw. Renovation had to be done yearly so every fall the mud plaster was renewed with a new layer.
These houses didn't last for long so people started using more durable building materials, the cooked brick, stones and gypsum. People quarried bricks and soft gypsum rocks were cooked and crushed in to gypsum powder locally known GESSA.
Stones were mainly used for foundations and walls, the bricks were mainly used for roofs. The interior walls were plastered with a finer quality of gypsum. Simple designs and arched structures were introduced as shown in the top picture above. Holes were built within the walls which served as nests for birds such as sparrows and pigeons.
Gates were made of wooden planks that are nailed with metal plates as shown in the pictures below.
Well-known masons in Bakhdida were late Stifo and Mosa Banaia.
