Musgum obos \/ obi structures in Pouss, northern Cameroon near the border with Chad. <!--more-->They provide efficient cooling in the baking heat with a round ventilation hole at the top and a small entrance with no windows. The high dome collects the hot air moving it away from the living space. The patterns on the exterior of the obos\u00a0aren&#8217;t\u00a0just for decoration. The name of these houses (&#8216;cases obos&#8217;) comes from their similarity with the profile of shells. It is\u00a0structurally\u00a0very close to the catenary arch, the ideal mathematical form to bear a maximum weight\u00a0with minimal material. This profile also reduces the pressure effect of the impact of water drops\u00a0on the walls.There is one structure for the chief and the additional ones are for each wife!
