built entirely by hand, the 'greniers du sahel' cold rooms measure up to 6 metres in height

musgum clay houses in cameroon

what strikes at first sight is their almost organic simplicity, a second reading reveals the functions behind the forms.
the walls of the houses are thicker at the base than at the summit, which increases the stability of the building.

earth architecture handmade school bangladesh

this school is so beautiful and hand made.

what an amazing project....imagine those kids going to school in this colorful, sunny, natural and organic environment!!! makes me happy! more via

hand-built in four months by architects, local craftsmen, pupils, parents and teachers, 

this primary school in rudrapur, a village in north west bangladesh, uses traditional 

methods and materials of construction but adapts them in new ways. the architects, 

anna aeringer from austria and eike roswag from germany, made every effort to engage 

the skills of local craftsmen, helping them refine processes and learn new techniques 

that they could then use to improve the general standard of rural housing.

the philosophy of METI (modern education and training institute) is learning with joy.

the teachers help the children to develop their own potential and use it in a creative 

and responsible way. the building reflects these ideas through its materials, techniques 

and architectural design.

love this very open place via
