Earth Bricks

Outline
This project uses soil as a structure. Soil, sand, crushed stone, water, and magnesium oxide are mixed and dried to make soil blocks (basic shape: 260 x 400 x 100 mm, approx. 2,500 pieces), which are piled up along a gradient-shaped plan. The roof has two circular top lights and a double-wing fan for natural ventilation.
