the dirt wall : construction week

the dirt wall, a wall built by using fabric as the formwork. four timber aparatus's are bolted at both ends which limits the boundaries of the dirt. dirt is then poured inside the fabric and rammed down by an electric earth rammer. without any usage of adhesive, the wall stands proud mimicing a mattress.
