Rammed earth walls construction: 15 impressive designs

Written by María Francisca González | Translated by Romullo Baratto

 

This week, we present a selection of the best photographs of projects built in rammed earth wall. There are 15 works that show the aesthetic potential of this technique, which consists of composing layers of compacted and uncoated soil. Although little used in civil construction, this technique of vernacular origins has been used again by some warehouses in recent years.

 

See, follow, pictures of works in rammed earth wall made by names like Filip DujardinCade Hayes and Nic Lehoux.
