Local materials for local conditions. Beautiful & practical architecture.

I’d far rather spend time in buildings that breathe with the elements & allow airflow than ones that are sealed & isolated from what’s outside. Sounds & scents convey so much.

This example shows how even in extreme conditions, such design can work.
