RAMMED EARTH STUDIES
Revisiting Ancient Construction and Rethinking Scale
The RAMMED EARTH STUDIES are sculptures made from a mix of rammed earth. The objects imitate the construction technique used in Benin, Burkina Faso and Mali. The earth, extracted on-site, is intensively stamped into a building block mould. The same technique is applied when making the rammed earth studies.Our mixture, made out of Belgian soil, is stamped into custom-developed moulds. Through its particular composition, the objects get their unique and recognisable aesthetic.
The RAMMED EARTH STUDIES investigate predetermined techniques and reconstruct them on a different scale. Taking its inspiration from large-scale construction projects, each piece now lives on as a contemporary nod to its imposing history.
