earthLAB Studio is proud to partner with Stockholm-based interdisciplinary artist Ayesha Quraishi. Operating at the interface of the archaic and the contemporary, this collaboration adapts traditional earth-building techniques for the modern world—extending architectural structures into the realms of interior objects and artistic expression. By merging earthLAB’s material expertise with Quraishi’s vision of art as a force that shapes reality, we aim to craft objects and environments that engage the senses and re-examine the intersections of memory, systems, and the built environment.

There is a lot of research about the impact of physical space in our well-being. Designing our building environment is probably more important now than ever. Data indicates that people are getting lonelier while cities continue to grow. In Sweden we spend around 90% of our time indoors (Boverket). earthLAB believes that one way to create a healthy space is to build with earth. Earth is natural, it improves indoor air quality ... and also earth is beautiful. Personal dream? Getting old in an earth house with crazy views towards this beautiful city of ours.

While the building industry in Sweden is facing a cement crisis, alternatives as to importing cement from abroad are being considered. It makes me think about the role we as architects have. I believe that alternatives such as rammed earth buildings could substitute cement in some cases; the problem is that research about earth building is far behind research of cement production.

Tidigast om fyra år kan den inhemska produktionen effektivt ersättas – dock till högre kostnad och större risk för miljöpåverkan.
