Flying Earth: Rammed Earth Workshop

17-21 July 2024

ITU Faculty of Architecture, Taskisla Campus​

​​

​

Description

​

Within the Flying Earth workshop, the computational modeling of stereotomic structures using Rhino Grasshopper and the physical production of these structures were realized by utilizing rammed earth blocks produced during the workshop. Over the course of an intensive five-day program, participants engaged in theoretical presentations, hands-on modeling training, and collaborative efforts in mold production, determining soil material ratios, producing compressed earth blocks, and assembling these blocks. Throughout this process, they explored the possibilities and potentials of generative design and discussed rapid prototyping methods.

​​

​Experience(s)

​

Initially, wooden molds were produced based on the drawing templates provided to the participants. After the soil underwent physical separation processes, it was placed into these molds, thoroughly compacted, and left to dry. Once dried, the molds were dismantled, resulting in the production of the earth blocks. Subsequently, a foundation was prepared for the vault to be constructed using the produced earth blocks. Cardboard boxes and plates were placed on this foundation to fill the void within the vault and to support it while construction. The previously produced compressed earth blocks were then individually assembled onto this mold. After adding the final piece, the keystone, the construction of the vault was completed. A few days later, the cardboard boxes and plates supporting the vault were removed.
