Architect

I designed two alternatives for this project to study both rammed earth and adobe vaulting construction process: 1.Adobe Vault Structure 2.Rammed Earth (30% of building) Designing the adobe vaulting alternative was done later to study these structures for in independant research for myself. The second alternative was client’s main project which is under construction right now.

Location: Suburbs of Mashhad, Iran Current Status

Rammed Earth Alternative

Adobe Vaulting Construction Process being able to build a whole building from scratch, using basic tools is one of main merits of using adobe vaulting. in order to fullfill this potential, we need to design the construction process. and it involves a wide range of activities: Extracting soil, Mixing, Designing adobe shape and size for molding, Suggesting proper brick and course pattern, Modeling force path through whole building, Process of construction, Designing Controling tools and etc.

Below you can see process of Construction of whole building.

We chose earth as a natural material to build our model and tried to stay open to its character and behavior during the modeling process.

Why Earth Floor?

This is a Green Gallery in the middle of a metropolitan. people walk in downtown cities, pass trafics and finally they enter a house. but it looks like a Natural garden, because light comes in from every side, floor is earth, and all objects are wood and plants.
