We explored Poured Earth mixtures, innovative formwork, different patterns and imprints, building large prototypes, and finishing by building a 1:1 wall. Check out all our tutorial videos on poured earth.

A first wall was raised with the poured earth technique, it is one of the first large scale constructions with this technique in the Iberian Peninsula.

After a first week of intense experimentation the groups were ready to start designing their own mixes with three different soils and experiment with formwork.

On the beginning of October we finally gathered 11 participants from different countries at the Oficinas da Ceramica e da Terra in Montemor-o-Novo, ready to explore poured earth knowledge along the next four weeks.

Exploring this innovative technique that allows a building site to be fast and similar to a conventional one is the aim of this workshop.
