On 24 March 2017 Inhabitat reported: In 2000, Burkina Faso farmer Seri Youlou and Frenchman Thomas Granier started the Nubian Vault Association, which is also known by its French name Association La Voûte Nubienne (AVN). They resurrected what they call the Nubian Vault technique, or the process of constructing sturdy vaulted roofs with mud bricks similar to processes employed centuries ago in ancient Egypt.
