EARTH DOME 

Lisa Rooney & I, were invited to build a playhouse for kids at a school in Sidi Bouzgea, Morocco.

We envisioned a space were kids could play & imaging. We designed & created the dome over the span of a month. We had both been interested in making large scale work & making from earthen materials. We began with the knowledge Lisa had gleaned from taking a adobe workshop with Joanna Lopez. Ready with her notes, guidance from locals, our hosts math skills and a friend of the farm, we set out to make a 5ft by 5ft dome out of earth.

The project would not have been possible without the support of the family we stayed with and the land we built upon. Thank you Karine (99 Femmes), Ahmed (Open Village), Nayla, & all the kiddos and women.

Please check out their amazing work:
