Center for building with earth

Centre for Building with Earth is an experimental laboratory where we explore the possibilities of building with primal materials, connecting people and the environment. Since its start in 2021, the Centre has served as a venue for various festivals and events, but mostly as the place of architectural thought and realisation. Authors tested their ideas through the process of building two pavilions in rammed earth. A series of workshops in 2023 also explored the potential of making earth construction more accessible by developing a modular building system.
