July’s Dezeen In Depth newsletter explores concerns that rammed earth’s carbon impact is misunderstood and features an interview with an architect involved in the Paris Olympics as part of our new Olympic Impact series.
“People are using rammed earth to sell something that is essentially concrete,” said Rowland Keable, CEO of the charity Earth Building UK and Ireland and founder of Rammed Earth Consulting in Amy Peacock’s report for Dezeen on the material.
The newsletter also features an interview with Populous’ François Clément about how Paris 2024 comes close to the limit of what is possible in terms of minimising construction for Olympic Games hosted in a single city, as part of our Olympic Impact editorial series.
