Rammed earth – the amazing clay architecture of Martin Rauch
"Rammed earth has the potential to become a fully viable alternative to existing building materials and technologies, which place great demands on resources and require costly transportation,” says an enthusiastic Martin Rauch. Top architectural studios are already vying with each other to co-operate with the Austrian earth maestro. Rauch’s finished works excel both in terms of aesthetic and technological advancement. An exhibition of his works entitled “Refined Earth” (Formovat zemi) is currently underway in the House of Art, České Budějovice in Southern Bohemia.
